Now with independent O₂ and CO₂ control for live cell assays

The new Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) allows independent, simultaneous control of both O₂ and CO₂ within the microplate reader chamber. Assays which can now be performed on the CLARIOstar range from standard cell growth assays to cytotoxicity assays. The ACU provides the optimal environment for any live cell-based assay.

Features:

• O₂ control range: 0.1 – 20%
• CO₂ control range: 0.1 – 20%
• LCD touchscreen with an intuitive user interface
• Up to ten user-definable presets
• Gas concentration curve display
• Integrated gas pressure regulators and sensors

All active components and integrated into the ACU for highest reliability and easy maintenance. In combination with the CLARIOstar’s temperature control, three shaking options, bottom reading, and Z-height adjustment, the CLARIOstar with ACU provides an ideal “walk-away” solution for any long-term, cell-based assays.

Examples of applications:

• Proliferation assays and cell viability
• Migration and invasion studies
• Hypoxia and Ischemia/reperfusion
• Angiogenesis
• Cytotoxicity studies
• Viral uptake
