Dual Temperature Hypoxystation with Two Airlocks Launched

Dual Temperature Hypoxystation with Two Airlocks Launched

Don Whitley Scientific today announced the launch of the first Hypoxystation with two airlocks, two sets of sleeved ports, and the option of having different temperatures in either chamber. This unique cell culture workstation also has the option of HEPA filtration. 

The Whitley H55, like our other Hypoxystations, provides the facility to mimic in vitro conditions, providing a continuous cell culture environment that eliminates cellular stress linked to variations in temperature, pH levels and oxidation, yielding better cell lines. This workstation allows you to control O2 in 0.1% increments up to 20%; CO2 in 0.1% increments up to 15%; and relative humidity up to 80%.

As well as having a colour touchscreen interface, the H55 has a capacity of 600 litres. It has four oval, sleeved ports and two rapid airlocks (one on the left and one on the right). Two people can easily work side-by-side in this chamber, in the same environmental conditions. The removable front facilitates equipment being transferred into and out of the chamber and helps organise your work – perhaps having equipment at one side and your workspace at the other.

If you want to be able to operate your workstation with two different temperature levels, specify the dual temperature option. This provides a central divider between the workstation chambers allowing you to select different temperatures for each side. A manually operated sliding door between the two chambers allows items to be passed from one area into the other.

A HEPA filtered version of the H55 is also available to provide levels of atmospheric cleanliness inside the workstation that exceed the requirements of ISO 14644 Class 3. All the atmosphere inside the chamber passes through the filter hundreds of times an hour, which ensure the chamber environment is cleaned quickly.

The H55 comes complete with a custom-designed trolley.
