I-Glove Overview
CYTOCENTRIC ALTERNATIVE TO HOODS
The incubator is an essential part of the cell culturing process. The only drawback is the exposure to ambient air. Processing cells contained solely in an incubator is widely accepted, though it creates numerous complications.
FULL TIME OPTIMIZATION
Primarily, the optimal atmospheric environment inside the incubator is disturbed whenever the door is opened. Secondly, a large amount of gas is required to restore the contained atmosphere to optimal conditions (especially hypoxia). Lastly, cultures are usually manipulated in a hood outside the incubator under suboptimal conditions.
FULL TIME PROTECTION
The I-Glove chamber is a valuable, affordable solution to these problems. It is a large laboratory glove box in which your incubator sits. Identical conditions can be controlled both inside and outside the incubator allowing cultures to be manipulated under optimal conditions. This process removes the necessity of a hood and consumes minimal gas. This means the control range of the incubator is also easily controlled. Inside the I-Glove, extreme oxygen levels are easily maintained.
Complete SystemA nitrogen gas supply is necessary for hypoxia. If CO2 control is necessary, a tank of CO2 is also required, as is a CO2 controller to control it. (Incubator not included). ControllersOxygen controllers, such as the ProOx P360 pictured, and CO2 controllers fit the I-Glove. SubchamberA subchamber, such as the 1-shelf C-Chamber above (Multiple sizes available), is used to transport cells to and from the I-Glove. They sit inside your incubator, providing isolated environments and allowing multiple protocols per incubator. |
