The Coy In Vivo Hypoxic Cabinet System is the only system of its type that is a hermetically sealed chamber and allows continuous control of oxygen. This hypoxic chamber allows animals to live at reduced or elevated O2 levels. The system features the ability to change the O2 levels between multiple set points in increments of 0.1%. Users need only to supply a gas source for nitrogen and oxygen. The System features an advance controller and sensor to precisely control your needs. Cabinet comes complete with fittings and pressure relief valve to make operation and set up easy. Due to the wide variety of protocols on InVivo hypoxia studies Coy offers a complete line of options to ensure your animal care needs are met:
