Company

A family legacy of ingenuity, precision, and collaboration for over half a century.

In 1969 Richard Coy, owner of a small, high-precision prototype machining company, was approached by Doctor Rolph Freter in the Microbiology Department at the University of Michigan. Together they developed the concept and design of the world’s first anaerobic chamber dedicated to microbiology research.

From humble beginnings, Coy Laboratory Products grew into the world’s leader in anaerobic chambers. Today, Coy offers a complete line of anaerobic and hypoxic chambers and humidity control glove boxes.

The flexible vinyl anaerobic chamber is manufactured and shipped around the globe as the world’s most cited anaerobic chamber. Coy’s state-of-the-art manufacturing center, just outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan, has also produced even more innovative options such as gas injection systems, the world’s only anaerobic monitor for measuring both oxygen and hydrogen, and the revolutionary hydrogen sulfide removal system.

Powering research with over 168 papers citing Coy Labs chambers.

Known for their durability, reliability, and ease of use, Coy chambers have become the gold standard for anaerobic research worldwide.

Continuing the legacy of innovation

Hypoxic Chambers (O2 Control) and Beyond

PAST ACHIEVEMENTS

In the last 20 years, hypoxic chambers (O2 Control), designed for in vivo and in vitro studies, have been added to Coy’s product catalog. For the first time, researchers are able to precisely control oxygen, along with CO2 temperature and humidity, while performing sample manipulations. A complete line of dissolved oxygen sensors is also available.

RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS

The latest Coy product is a collaborative effort with the University of Michigan to develop an operant analgesia meter for rats. Introduced in 2011, this Mechanical Conflict-avoidance System (MCS) is a novel approach to preclinical pain studies and is another revolutionary product from Coy Labs.

LOOKING AHEAD

At Coy Labs, innovation is ongoing. Many of our chamber improvements have come directly from customer feedback, or observations made from our onsite support team. We will continue to work closely with researchers to develop products that push the boundaries of scientific discovery.
