Coy Laboratory Products, Inc.

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. With his first-born child on the way, Richard worked diligently in the basement of his own home manufacturing chambers. From these humble beginnings Coy Laboratory Products grew into the world’s leader in anaerobic chambers. 46 years later Coy offers a complete line of anaerobic and hypoxic chambers and humidity control glove boxes.

Today, the flexible Vinyl Anaerobic Chamber is manufactured and shipped around the world as the 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 sulphide removal system.
