Modular Hypoxia / Stem-cell Workstation — a “lab-in-a-box” providing precise, stable O₂ (0.0–20.9% in 0.1% steps), CO₂, temperature and humidity control with advanced gas-mixing and touch-screen control, HEPA/VOC filtration options, and an interior designed for imaging and cell-therapy workflows.
Why are oxygen levels in osteoarthritis studies important?
Explore how physiological oxygen levels influence chondrocyte function, cartilage homeostasis and osteoarthritis research. This application note from The Baker Company examines the role of hypoxia, HIF-1 and TGF-β signaling, and explains why maintaining physiologically relevant oxygen conditions (typically around 2–5% O₂ in vitro) can help support biologically relevant chondrocyte behavior.
The application note also introduces the SCI-tive range of physiological oxygen workstations, designed to mimic in vivo conditions and provide researchers with a protected, controlled environment for cell culture studies.

Increasing cell adherence with a hypoxia workstation
A major criticism of all-in-one workstations over using traditional incubators and biosafety cabinets for cell culture is that the exposure to excessive vibration will affect cell growth and adhesion.
The Baker Company tested the cells’ capabilities to attach in a baker Rusklinn SCI-tive hypoxia workstation, as compared to a standard CO2 incubator, and demonstrated the benefits of using a SCI-tive workstation to enhance cell culture as compared to standard incubators.
