The present invention relates to an automated system for inducing hypoxia in which length and pattern of exposure to hypoxia can be continuously and automatically controlled by the means for regulating and adjusting hypoxia chamber microenvironment. The automated system comprises a hypoxia chamber 7, a controller 5 arranged at the top of the hypoxia chamber and implemented as integral part of the hypoxia chamber and two independent oxygen sensors 4-1, 4-2 which continuously measure oxygen level. The first oxygen sensor measures oxygen level in the gas mixing point 3 in which gases are mixed together and the second oxygen sensor measures oxygen level inside the hypoxia chamber. The controller consists essentially of field programmable gate array development card 9 with PID controller implementation and operates with the solenoid valves according to the given parameters. Also disclosed is a process for continuous and automatic control of the environment within a hypoxia chamber.
