We are looking into getting a hypoxia chamber for C. elegans…
I would be very grateful if you could share your experiences with me regarding different models and your experiences

Thanks!!

It really matters what you are trying to do and the specific hypoxic O2 concentrations you want to maintain. If you want to generate anaerobic conditions, you can use BioBags Type A (as in Padilla et al., 2002, 302: 1038). Otherwise, for specific non-aerobic hypoxia we construct continuous-flow atmospheres using pre-mixed compressed gas (as in Nystul and Roth, 2004, PNAS 101:9133). Hope this helps.
