Increasingly, life science assays are run on live cells. Some of these assays require control over CO2 and O2 concentrations to modulate the environment for pH buffering or to create a hypoxic condition. These assays are traditionally run in flasks in a low-throughput manner, but there is a burgeoning interest in automation of live cell-based assays in microplates for higher throughput and efficiency, therefore there is a need for cell-friendly microplate instrumentation.
The Gas Controller allows full control over CO2 and O2 concentrations to regulate the environment for microplate based live cell assays.
