Atmospheric Control Unit Plate Reader Accessory

Mason Technology supplies the BMG LABTECH Atmospheric Control Unit as a specialist plate reader accessory for compatible microplate readers used in advanced live cell applications.

The Atmospheric Control Unit, or ACU, independently regulates oxygen and carbon dioxide levels inside the reader chamber. This allows researchers to create controlled atmospheric conditions during measurements without repeatedly removing the microplate from the instrument.

The system is particularly relevant to cell biology, pharmaceutical research and laboratories studying cellular responses to changing environmental conditions.

Atmospheric Control Unit Plate Reader Accessory Key Features

• Independent regulation of oxygen and carbon dioxide inside the reader chamber
• Designed for compatible BMG LABTECH plate reader platforms
• Supports controlled environments for long-term live cell measurements
• Oxygen and carbon dioxide control supports physiological and hypoxic conditions
• Gas ramping capability available with compatible reader configurations
• Gas concentration information can be tracked during supported workflows
• LCD touchscreen provides an intuitive control interface
• Displays gas concentration curves during operation
• Supports user-defined presets
• Valve control helps minimise gas consumption
• Integrated gas pressure regulation and monitoring
• Acoustic alarm helps alert users to gas pressure issues
• Altitude correction supports accurate gas regulation
• Suitable for proliferation, viability, hypoxia, migration and cytotoxicity studies

Combining atmospheric regulation with compatible temperature control, shaking and bottom reading capabilities can create a more complete environment for live cell measurements.

Mason Technology can help customers assess reader compatibility and determine whether atmospheric control is appropriate for their intended applications. Our team also provides installation and training for the wider plate reader range.
