Baker SCI-tive Hypoxia Workstation

The refurbished Baker SCI-tive Hypoxia Workstation is a fully integrated “lab-in-a-box” system designed to deliver precise, stable, and physiologically relevant oxygen conditions for advanced cell culture and translational research. Manufactured by The Baker Company, the SCI-tive series is widely trusted for hypoxia and physoxia studies, enabling researchers to replicate in vivo environments with unmatched control over oxygen, carbon dioxide, temperature, and humidity.

Baker SCI-tive Hypoxia Workstation features

True In Vivo Simulation

Accurately replicate physiological oxygen conditions (0.1%–23% O₂) with fine control, supporting hypoxia, normoxia, and physoxia workflows.

Integrated Environmental Control

Simultaneous regulation of O₂, CO₂ (0.1%–30%), temperature, and humidity ensures optimal conditions for sensitive cell cultures.

Closed, Continuous Cell Culture Environment

Maintain uninterrupted hypoxic conditions from seeding through analysis, reducing cellular stress caused by environmental fluctuations.

Spacious “Lab-in-a-Box” Design

Large internal chamber (~420L capacity) accommodates microscopes, analyzers, and other instruments—eliminating the need to move samples between environments.

Advanced Contamination Control

Testing

This Baker SCI-tive workstation is used and reconditioned. Our technicians test all gloveboxes to confirm that they operate properly and to the manufacturer’s specifications. They visually inspect for damage such as cracks, leaks, or worn-out seals. Afterward, conduct a pressure decay test by inflating the glovebox and monitoring if the pressure holds steady.

Additionally, if you have specific testing requirements or requests, please inform us. We will gladly work with you to ensure these requirements are addressed during testing.

Baker SCI-tive Hypoxia Workstation frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What is a hypoxia workstation and why is it important?

A hypoxia workstation like the Baker SCI-tive is a sealed system that allows researchers to culture and manipulate cells under controlled low-oxygen conditions. Unlike standard incubators, the SCI-tive maintains a continuous hypoxic environment, preventing oxygen exposure that can alter cell behavior and experimental results.

What makes the Baker SCI-tive different from standard CO₂ incubators?

Standard incubators cannot maintain low oxygen levels during handling. The SCI-tive provides a fully enclosed workspace, allowing all processes—from culture to analysis—to occur under precisely controlled atmospheric conditions.

Can the Baker SCI-tive Hypoxia workstation support multiple users or workflows?

Yes. Depending on the configuration (single or dual chamber), SCI-tive systems can support multiple simultaneous workflows or independent atmospheric conditions within separate chambers.

Does the system require special installation?

The SCI-tive workstation requires:

Gas supplies (O₂, CO₂, N₂)
Electrical connection
Adequate lab space and ventilation

American Instrument Exchange and AIE Laboratory Services can often assist with setup guidance for customers in Greater Boston or throughout New England.

Testing Procedures for Used and Refurbished Laboratory Equipment

Ensure Accuracy, Safety, and Dependable Performance Across Applications

At American Instrument Exchange, all used and refurbished laboratory equipment undergoes a rigorous, multi-point testing protocol to ensure optimal performance, operational safety, and long-term reliability. Whether the equipment is destined for research, diagnostics, quality control, or production environments, our thorough inspection and testing process is designed to meet the highest standards of laboratory excellence.

Why Testing Used Lab Equipment Is Essential

Before any refurbished laboratory equipment is returned to service, it must be carefully tested to verify:
