Description

Carbogen CAS NO 8063-77-2 is a precisely formulated medical gas mixture, primarily composed of carbon dioxide and oxygen. This product is critical for creating controlled physiological and therapeutic effects in clinical and research settings. It is an essential reagent for medical professionals and researchers in fields such as anesthesiology, respiratory therapy, and life sciences, where precise gas composition directly impacts patient outcomes and experimental validity.

Application

• Medical Diagnostics: Used in respiratory function tests and cardiopulmonary exercise testing to assess ventilatory response and measure cerebral blood flow.
• Therapeutic Procedures: Employed to stimulate breathing post-anesthesia, treat conditions like hiccups (singultus), and in laser surgery of the retina.
• Research & Cell Culture: Provides a controlled gaseous environment (typically 5% CO2, 95% O2) for incubators to maintain physiological pH in cell and tissue cultures.
• Calibration & Instrumentation: Serves as a certified reference standard for calibrating medical and analytical gas monitoring equipment in hospitals and laboratories.
• Hyperoxic Therapy: Used in conjunction with radiation therapy for cancer treatment to sensitize tumor cells.

Quality Control

Our Carbogen is manufactured and analyzed under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure precise composition, purity, and the absence of contaminants. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing the exact concentration of components (e.g., CO2, O2) and verifying the absence of moisture, hydrocarbons, and other impurities are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with medical and research-grade specifications.

Storage

Store compressed gas cylinders in a cool, well-ventilated area, secured in an upright position. Protect from direct sunlight, heat sources, and corrosive environments. Keep valve caps on when not in use. Ensure storage area temperature does not exceed 52°C (125°F). Separate from flammable materials.
