O2自动调控系统

Through a strategically positioned oxygen sensor and controller the Coy Hypoxic Glove Box can maintain a uniform gas concentration throughout the chamber and optimum control. As gases are required in the glove box, they are introduced through a unique gas tube shower system which, along with the internal fan, provides the circulation required for uniform gas distribution and fast response of the controller. To allow for the relief of pressure induced by gas addition, special check/bleed valves are installed in the glove box.

Temperature Control (option) Units can either be heated or unheated or unheated with a separate Incubator.  A solid state heater provides reliable, stable temperature control with digital display and controls in both our Incubators and Heated Glove Boxes.

CO 2 Control (option)   All COY Hypoxic units can be equipped with optional CO₂ Controls. A revolutionary controller and sensor, allows for precise control and monitoring of CO₂ gases inside the glove box.  The sensor relays information to the controller which then opens the appropriate Solenoid controlling a CO₂ or N₂ Gas to equilibrate the CO₂ levels inside the glove box.  The digital display allows the user to monitor the CO₂ Levels constantly.

Humidity Control (option)  COY offers a few different ways to control the humidity of the glove box depending on the application.  Some heated units have a built in solid state dehumidifier with digital displays and controls.  Typically the Solid State Automatic Dehumidifier is recommended but for some low volume/small size animals a more affordable desiccant drying system may be utilized.  Cell Culture units typically are provided with an optional Humidified Incubation Box (high humidity box within the glove box) to prevent samples from drying out however since these are not air tight the moisture eventually escapes into the glove box atmosphere so the Solid State Dehumidifier or Desiccant drying system is used to maintain ideal relative humidity.

Cell Culture Units  Cultures are incubated in the heated, humidified, gas controlled (up to 100% O₂ ) incubation box which resides inside the glove box. The glove box is heated and gas regulated, but not humidified. This allows samples to be analyzed with delicate equipment that would be damaged by high humidity. More importantly, controlled oxygen conditions are maintained in the sample analysis area. Tests that could not be performed with a bench top enclosure and CO₂ incubator because of the biologically fast reaction to ambient oxygen can now be performed.

Live Animal Containment  Depending on the labs animal care requirements the units can be heated or unheated.  Most units for live animal containment will also require the COY Animal Filtration System to remove the animal waste byproducts, these units can be automatic or manual, with the manual based on a simple protocol the lab establishes, automatic units are based off the CO₂ levels.  The Animal Filtration system is a closed loop circuit with a pump drawing the glove box atmosphere out and through the filters (Carbolime and activated carbon) and back into the glove box. 

Airlock Sizes for Live Animal Containment  Due to the variety of number and size of animals kept in these glove boxes COY manufactures each unit to specifically match a labs cage size to the airlock providing optimum efficiency.
