A multiwell plate-based system for toxicity screening under multiple static or cycling oxygen environments

Abstract Tumor tissue contains a continuous distribution of static and dynamically changing oxygen environments with levels ranging from physiologically normal oxygen down to anoxia. However, in vitro studies are often performed under oxygen levels that are far higher than those found in vivo. A num...
