Dear Kirk

Our chambers (http://www.lis.ch/thechamber.html), in closed
configuration, can be perfused easily with N2 or dried air.
Alternatively, you could also connect both the inlet and the outlet
to a container with a hygroscopic substance (e.g. water-free clacium
chloride).

With best regards,

Beat
