STX-CO2-O2 CO2 and O2 concentration controller

Tokai Hit’s STX-CO₂-O₂ controller provides precise control of CO₂ (5-20%) and O₂ (0.1-18%) concentrations in platinum incubators. This digital control system ensures a stable environment for hypoxic cell culture applications, with compatibility to STX incubators and other Tokai Hit modules. It offers rapid installation and an intuitive interface for live microscopy environments.

Features of the STX-CO2-O2 CO2 and O2 concentration controller

  • Digital mixing of CO₂ and O₂ gases for culture under hypoxia
  • CO₂ range: 5.0-20.0%; O₂: 0.1-18.0
  • Setting accuracy to 0.1% with PID control
  • Gas flow rate: 150-200 mL/min
  • Compatible with STXG/STXF incubators and GM-8000 system
  • Plug-and-play installation with assembly in 15 minutes
