Abstract

The control of pericellular pO2 is an essential task in cell culture studies concerning cell injury processes, e.g. hypoxia and reoxygenation. Our pO2 measurements in human hepatoma cultures demonstrate that stationary monolayers may be subjected to severe hypoxia even when kept under conventional room air conditions. This hypoxia develops within 1 h and can be attributed to a misproportion between a high O2 consumption and a diffusion- limited O2 supply. The use of gas-permeable dishes provides a close correlation between ambient gas and pericellular O2 tensions.
