The Gas Mixer is the gas mixing and control unit of the Gas Incubation System. There are two
versions of the Gas Mixer controlling either the amount of CO
2
or the amount of both CO
2
and O
2
.
Using the CO
2
/O
2
version, hypoxia conditions can be created by replacing O
2
with nitrogen (N
2
).
In addition to the gas mixture, the humidity within the incubation chamber is actively controlled by a
feedback loop using a humidity sensor located in the incubation chamber. The humidity is increased
by streaming the gas through a water column if the atmosphere is too dry.
