  Special equipment to study the effect of hypoxia and hyperthermia on cell cultures is developed, designed and made. The installation allows one to cultivate cells in special conditions (temperature, gas phase composition, humidity), create and  maintain controllable hypoxia, estimate the cellular culture phase composition  and respiratory activity.
The action of the antyhypoxant Hypoxen (poly(dihydroxyphenylenethiosulfonate sodium)) on the cellular culture 3T3 is preliminarily investigated in hypoxia conditions.
