Spring 2022 update

HypoxyLab
After much hard work and extensive testing, we’re happy to announce an important firmware update for HypoxyLab. Not only does it deliver some sought-after functionality such as a fan speed control and oxygen sensor calibration, but this new release brings tangible enhancements in terms of stability and reproducibility; testament to our ethos of continuous product improvement. This update will be rolled-out to our global HypoxyLab user-base over the coming weeks.

GelCount
Talking of software updates, GelCount will be next in-line, with a significant software release being made available over the coming weeks. This will provide additional functionality and features, improve parallel-processing performance, and resolve a few bugs that together, will greatly enhance the user experience. As always, the update is completely free of charge; existing users will see a pop-up prompt once the new release goes live.
