The InvivO₂® 500 is a compact, sterile workbench for cell cultivation under low O₂ conditions, which also serves as an incubator. With a working volume of 236 L, it is suitable for cell culture laboratories that want to work with up to 400 well plates. Furthermore, the InvivO₂® 500 can be extended with numerous options, e.g. the water humidifier for high humidity, the retrofitting of a second sub-bench to the InvivO₂® Dual or the use of no devices with cable/tube penetration through the side wall.

The internal HEPA filter and the joint-free interior chamber ensure hygienic conditions even at high humidity. The front panel can be quickly removed (in <10 s) and the workbench can be efficiently disinfected and cleaned.

The durable optical O₂ sensor can be calibrated in a user-friendly with one-button touch. The programming of up to 4 different O₂/CO₂ cycles allows a modular setup even for complex experiments. The arm ports are used to attach cuffs for comfortable working in the bench with disposable gloves. The InvivO₂® 500 has a bigger interlock than the InvivO₂® 400.
