Don Whitley Scientific has always strived to be the most innovative manufacturer of scientific equipment. Our leading range of workstations provides some of the most sophisticated options to the microbiology and cell culture industries.
One of the more specific markets Don Whitley Scientific provides for is those wanting to carry out experiments under hypoxic conditions. Researchers may only have the use of an incubator to keep specimens in hypoxic conditions, however this can cause problems when the conditions of the incubator become interrupted, usually when the incubator door is opened to add or remove samples and equipment.
When incubators just won’t do
In a testimonial for Don Whitley Scientific, Brad Wouters from Toronto, Canada shared this issue: “An incubator just isn’t suitable for that because whenever the door is opened, the oxygen concentration changes dramatically and the cells will go through waves of deoxygenation and oxygenation.” An issue like this could then lead to inaccurate results and potentially jeopardise experiments. This is why the Whitley Hypoxystation is ideal for these situations.
Working in a Whitley Workstation
Professor Mann states in his testimonial, “The design of this workstation has also allowed us to use other essential equipment inside the chamber, such as oxygen meters and micromanipulators”. As opposed to an incubator where samples are placed and perhaps left for days without interaction, Whitley Workstations are designed specifically for scientists wanting to carry out tasks inside the workstation. Optional features on Whitley Workstations allow them to be tailored perfectly to those who want to conduct experiments in their workstation using additional specialised equipment, for example, the removable front option.
Australian testimonial
Maintaining an outstanding international reputation, Don Whitley Scientific exports its range of products to all corners of the globe. In Australia, at the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, the aim is “to reduce the incidence, severity and impact of heart diseases” and for Dr Dunn and her team, precise control of oxygen, carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity is vital. She mentions in her testimonial that with a H35 Hypoxystation she achieves “very accurate and reproducible results”. As well as providing fantastic equipment, Don Whitley Scientific ensures that the advice and service we provide to customers is of a high level, which is also noticed by Dr Dunn, who states, “Don Whitley Scientific made great efforts to ensure our purchase, installation and ongoing use of the machine has been hassle free.”
