Oxford Optronix HypoxyLab benchtop hypoxia workstation

By delivering a compact, contamination-free environment that offers precise and continuous control of oxygen, CO₂, temperature and humidity, the HypoxyLab delivers a powerful solution to research and industry looking to reproduce representative physiological conditions in cell-based research.

It is the partial pressure of oxygen (not merely the % oxygen concentration) that cells actually ‘see’ when cell cultures are exposed to oxygen. The product adopts this fundamental scientific principle and controls the chamber environment using the partial pressure of oxygen (pO₂) expressed directly in SI units of mmHg or kPa.

The partial pressure of oxygen varies not only with oxygen concentration, but also with altitude and prevailing weather patterns. This approach is claimed to make HypoxyLab the most faithfully accurate hypoxia workstation available.
