Gas Exchange Group Activation Pack (GE-GAP) The GE-GAP provides a third level of fluid containment and allows 8 FPA’s to be processed simultaneously when used in conjunction with an IM-GAP or can house a stack of nine 105 mm petri dishes. Like the IM-GAP design, the GE-GAP shell is constructed of aluminum to improve heat transfer properties. Gas-permeable membrane covered openings in the wall allow passive gas exchange for the experimental samples. The GE-GAP is housed within an ICM v.3 for computer and individual thermal control. Contact Dr. Alex Hoehn, Associate Director of Engineering, for additional information.
