BioSpherix ProOx C21 Controller with C-Chamber Cytocentric Incubator Subchamber

The Pro Ox C21 is a practical tool for researchers experimenting with cell cultures where both O₂ and CO₂ control, and monitoring is needed. It controls both gases in one convenient unit.

FITS MOST CELL CULTURE CHAMBERS

The Pro Ox C21 fits and controls most bench-top incubators and a variety of common cell culture chambers. The Pro Ox C21 is compatible with the Bio Spherix C-Chamber (sub chamber). The compact O₂/CO₂ controller is installed quickly and easily.

PHYSIOLOGIC AND PATHOLOGIC O2

Cells normally exist in low oxygen micro-environments and thus need to be modeled in vitro. The Pro Ox C21 is able to simulate any low oxygen environment. The compact O₂/CO₂ controller can also supply elevated oxygen concentration for hyperoxic conditions. It independently controls CO₂ for correct pH maintenance. The gases are infused and controlled to the user programmed set point.

CONTROL IS EFFICIENT

Feedback from the custom designed O₂ and CO₂ sensors tells the Pro Ox C21 the time and amount of gas to infuse. Thus, no gas is ever wasted. Recovery after access is especially rapid.

DECREASES RISK OF CONTAMINATION

The remote gas pod has a unique design that is resistant to initial and inadvertent cross-contamination. The pod works by isolating the potential source of the contamination, using disposable microbial barriers on all parts of the gas delivery system. If the microbial barrier eliminates the risk of cross infection on the return. All of the controlled, infused gas is sterile filtered. The microbial barrier filters are user replaceable. All contact surfaces of the compact O₂/CO₂ controller are easily decontaminated.

HANDLES ANY JOB

• Where ambient conditions are not correct, the Pro Ox C21 can provide any other level of O₂ or CO₂ you need.

• Where ambient atmosphere is not air, the Pro Ox C21 can restore and maintain air equivalent O₂.

• Where O₂ or CO₂ consumptive or generative processes need to be countered the Pro Ox C21 can hold both works continuously year-round, or on occasion as needed.
