An Adjustable Gas-Mixing Device to Increase Feasibility of In Vitro Culture of Plasmodium falciparum Parasites in the Field
Figure 2
Gas concentration comparisons for field applicable culture methods.
A. Graph of time and oxygen percentage as measured through modular incubator chamber output nozzle. Inset shows the time to reach 1% O2 for each method. Four independent experiments were performed and error bars represent standard deviation. B. Concentrations of CO2 and O2 for field applicable culture methods: Candle Jar, Pre-mixed gas cylinder (CYL), and gas-mixing (GM) device, compared to ambient atmospheric percentages. Three independent measurements were made (with five measurements for the gas-mixing device) and error bars represent standard deviation.
