Cell Pressure Systems
Model in vivo hydrostatic pressures
Precise pressurization
Model the pressures experienced by your cells in vivo with a convenient in vitro system that delivers mechanical stress through hydrostatic pressure.
Flexible patterns
Pressurize your cells with accurate, preprogrammed continuous or cyclic pressure patterns with your desired upper and lower pressure limits.
Controlled conditions
Effortlessly circulate your incubator’s environment through the pressure chamber, controlling factors like gas concentration, temperature, and humidity.

Specifications
Type: single-channel pressure control vessel with a pressure chamber for an incubator. Ideal for multi-well plates or Petri dishes.
Includes: round plastic pressure chamber, control unit with pressure regulator and preprogrammed sustained/cyclic pressure patterns, and tubing with rubber incubator port stopper.
Pressure range: up to 40 kPa (up to 300 mmHg).
Preprogrammed pressurization patterns: sustained and cyclic pressurization, with upper and lower pressure limits within 0 – 40 kPa (0 – 300 mmHg). For best performance, set pressures between 16 and 40 kPa (120 and 300 mmHg). Set pressure duration from 3 to 24 hours or indefinite.
- Sustained pressure: pressure maintained at a specific level set up to 40 kPa (up to 300 mmHg), with periodic depressurization and repressurization for gas exchange.
- Cyclic pressure: Pressure periodically oscillates between two pressure limits, with the period of oscillation within 1-180 minutes and pressure limits up to 40 kPa (up to 300 mmHg) set by the user.
Pressure chamber internal dimensions: 16.6 diam. x 5.5 H cm
Pressure chamber external dimensions: 22 W x 25 L x 12 H cm
