Dual hypoxia workstations

The DY Series hypoxia workstations are tri-gas controlled chambers designed to deliver stable, reproducible low‑oxygen environments for cutting‑edge cell and tissue culture research. Each workstation offers fully automatic control of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, temperature and humidity, allowing researchers to precisely mimic physiological and pathophysiological conditions such as tumor, cardiovascular, neurological and stem cell microenvironments. Across the series, DY workstations regulate oxygen from 0.1% to 23.0% and carbon dioxide from 0.1% to 20.0%, both adjustable in 0.1% increments for fine‑tuned hypoxic protocols. Temperature can be maintained from 3°C above ambient up to 45°C, with humidity control from room level up to 85%, ensuring optimal culture conditions and minimizing evaporation.

An Advanced Gas Circulation Design promotes homogeneous gas distribution throughout the chamber, supporting consistent conditions at every position inside the workstation. Selected models can be equipped with a HEPA 14 filter to remove airborne particles and maintain a clean, low‑contamination workspace for sensitive cultures.

The Seamless Entry System (SES) uses a vacuum‑assisted interlock to enable rapid, 10–12‑second access while preserving internal atmosphere, simplifying frequent sample transfers. Innovative one‑piece acrylic construction reduces condensation and microbial growth, while a Dual Pressure Relief System (valve plus relief tank) enhances safety and pressure stability.

All DY hypoxia workstations can be configured with advanced options such as programmable hypoxic cycling of O₂ and CO₂, remote control with alarms, internal power sockets, cable ports, high‑temperature chambers, micro‑pressure chambers (0–35 kPa) and an integrated anaerobic system, giving laboratories a flexible platform adaptable to evolving research needs. The series is offered in multiple form factors so users can select the optimal chamber volume and interlock size without sacrificing performance.
