Product Summary
Baker Ruskinn's Invivo
2
hypoxia workstation allows you to isolate cells in a chamber that accurately
maintains and controls temperature, humidity, oxygen and carbon dioxide. With the Invivo
2
, you can
study even the most complex cell interactions under perfect microaerophilic or anaerobic
conditions.
Features and Benefits
•
Quick and easy direct access with the gloveless, cuffed Ezeeyin Sleeve system.
•
Single plate entry system (SPES) - standard on most models, this mailbox-like slot allows
quick side entry or exit of individual plates, bypassing the interlock cycling process.
•
Read plates easily without exposure to oxygen - energy-saving lighting provides perfect
illumination.
•
Up to 520 90mm plate capacity
•
Interlock transfer 78 plates in 5 minutes.
•
Utilised with the ICO
2
N
2
IC Advanced Gas mixing system to offer a microaerophilic
environment in which to grow facultative anaerobes.
•
Optimum cell environment
o
Accurate temperature control -
from a 5˚C to 45˚C.
o
Accurate and automated humidity control - no dry spots.
o
Palladium catalyst maintains anaerobic environment as an optional extra with
anaerobic colour-indicator strips verifying anaerobic conditions.
o
Ezeeyin Sleeve system allows access without disrupting atmosphere within the
chamber.
•
Economic and reliable long-term savings
o
Standard dual gas operation - low gas consumption and running costs.
o
Minimal maintenance and downtime - with annual or biennial preventative
maintenance kits available.
The ICO

IC provides accurate control over O
2
(0.1% - 20.9% in 0.1% increments, can reach 23.0%
using separate 25% O
2
cylinder) and CO
2
(0.1% - 30% in 0.1% increments).
The ICO

IC is available in two options.
•
Hypoxic (standard build)
•
Anaerobic (optional accessory)

The use of the word Interlock in this manual is medical terminology, and refers to the
environmental working area between both chambers. It does not refer to the engineering safety
interlock switch mechanism.
