Abstract: A gas concentration adjusting agent which allows a low oxygen concentration environment, such as an ischemic environment for tests of cultured cell damage caused by low oxygen or the like, to be conveniently created, as well as a method and a system for adjusting gas concentrations using this easily handled agent, are provided. During the culture of cultured cells under low oxygen-ischemic culture conditions in a sealed container, the gas concentration adjusting agent consisting of water, a carbon dioxide absorbent, and an ascorbic acid-based, carbon dioxide-generating type of oxygen-absorbing composition is sealed inside the sealed container, so as to adjust the oxygen concentration in the culture environment to no more than 1% and the carbon dioxide concentration to between 3 and 7%.

Abstract: Disclosed are an inhibitor parcel comprising (a) a composition comprising an unsaturated fatty acid compound as its main ingredient and (b) a permeable diffusing-parcelling material prepared by laminating and bonding an oxygen-permeable resin layer onto one side of a base sheet made of a fibrous material and an adhesive or onto one adhesive-coating side of a base sheet made of a fibrous material, then laminating and bonding thereonto an oxygen-permeable resin layer and laminating and bonding a porous film of low softening point resin or a low softening point unwoven fabric onto the other side of the base sheet, said permeable diffusing-parcelling material (b) having an oxygen permeability of 10.sup.4 to 10.sup.6 ml/m.sup.2.Atm.Day and a (water vapor permeability/oxygen permeability) ratio of 0.02 H.sub.2 O mg.Atm/O.sub.2 ml! or above at 25.degree. C.

Abstract: In an oxygen absorbent packet, an oxygen absorbent containing moisture is received in the cup like plastic container and an air-permeable layer made of paper is adhered to the opening section of the container. A substantially air-impermeable layer is formed on the outer surface of the air-permeable layer, whereby the oxygen absorbent absorbs oxygen through the peripheral side edge of the air-permeable layer.
