Abingdon, UK, 29th October 2013. – Oxford Optronix, the leading provider of advanced
research instrumentation for the clinical medicine and life science industries will demonstrate its
latest innovative products for research professionals at Neuroscience 2013, the 43rd annual meeting
of the Society for Neuroscience in San Diego, California (9th – 13th November 2013). Oxford
Optronix will be exhibiting and available for meetings at Booth #1021.
The Neuroscience annual meeting is attended by scientists from around the world and includes major
featured and special lectures by leading scientists, more than 16,000 abstracts sharing new
findings, over 50 symposia and mini-symposia with comprehensive coverage of vital neuroscience
research topics, plus more than 600 exhibitors showcasing new tools, technologies, and publishing
opportunities. Neuroscience 2013 focusses on brain function, health, and disease, covering topics
such as nutrition, technology, learning, brain development and ageing.
Oxford Optronix will be presenting its full range of research instrumentation solutions, including
the next-generation OxyLite Pro™ and OxyFlo Pro™, and its HypoxyLab™ hypoxia
workstation. The OxyLite Pro and OxyFlo Pro are the most advanced, accurate and reliable tissue
vitality monitoring platforms on the market and their uses and unique features will be demonstrated
to visitors at the stand. There will also be the opportunity for delegates to explore Oxford
Optronix’s latest product release, HypoxyLab – a state-of-the-art hypoxia workstation
that provides a highly stabilised localised environment in which levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide,
temperature and humidity are precisely controlled within a Class 5 HEPA-filtered (contamination
free), isolation work chamber.
Sales Manager Petra Mayr PhD will be representing Oxford Optronix at the show and comments:
“The new HypoxyLab is a response to demand identified in the life sciences market for devices
capable of creating reproducible in vitro cell hypoxia environments. The early feedback we have had
from demonstrations at conferences and workshops has been incredibly positive and is an encouraging
vindication of our original design vision for the system. We expect the demonstrations of the
HypoxyLab at Neuroscience 2013 to create a similar buzz and to attract plenty of interesting
conversation.”
Andy Obeid PhD, CEO of Oxford Optronix adds: “The Society for Neuroscience’s Annual
Meeting is the foremost event for the exchange of findings and ideas. We look forward to sharing the
latest developments in brain science research and the opportunity to hear more from leaders in the
Neuroscience field.”
Founded in 1969 by Ralph W. Gerard, The Society for Neuroscience now has over forty thousand
members, making it the largest Neuroscience society in the world. The annual meeting is considered
to be the world's largest source of emerging news on brain science and health. Highlights of the
programme include a special “Dialogues Between Neuroscience and Society” lecture, by Ed
Catmull, PhD, President, Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios who will discuss creativity and the
mind. The ‘Dialogues’ series of lectures focusses on exploring the intersection of
neuroscience and the human experience with prominent individuals. Past speakers have included the
Dalai Lama, actress Glenn Close, architect Frank Gehry, choreographer Mark Morris, and artist Chuck
Close.
