Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU)

Atmospheric Control Unit

for O2 and CO2 Regulation

Overview

Enhanced cell-based assays

The Atmospheric Control Unit (ACU) is the ideal solution for live cell-based applications, from standard cell growth to hypoxic assays or pH control. The ACU provides a complete solution to fully and independently regulate both O2 and CO2 gas levels within the microplate reader chamber. From standard proliferation to hypoxic or cytotoxicity assays, the ACU provides the optimal environment for any live cell assay. In combination with the temperature control, shaking options, and bottom reading detection, the ACU offers a versatile walk-away solution for long-term cell-based assays.
