Some experiments require mimicking the absence of oxygen. Tumors for example often create an anoxic microenvironment for #cancer cells. 🥴
There are several ways to create anoxic environments for cell assays. One way is using BD GasPaksTM. Those are tightly closable plastic bags that use a separate catalyst added to the bag that will remove oxygen from the sealed bag.
On top of the catalyst, a color indicator will turn blue in case the bag has a leak and doesn’t stay anoxic.
Have a nice Thursday 🙂
