Anaerobe and microaerobe culturing

Anoxomat, for culturing anareobes and microaerobes microorganisms

The Anoxomat is the new standard for culturing anaerobes and microaerobes microorganisms in virtually any laboratory, clinical or industrial. This is achieved according the evacuation-replacement method of MacIntosh & Fildes, by means of a microprocessor controlled automatic valve system.

Advantages

• is rapid: anaerobic conditions in 70 seconds & microaerobic conditions in 20 seconds
• is easy to operate: by pressing a single button
• is space-saving: the Anoxomat uses only 41 x 37 x 15 cm of a desk
• is multifunctional: 2 culture possibilities in one device; anaerobic and microaerobic and the possibility to create a wide range of anaerobic and microaerobic recipes; various levels of oxygen O2, nitrogen N2, hydrogen H2 and carbondioxide CO2
• is cost-saving: no consumables, gas consumption per jar is low and the cost for anaerobic gas is practically nothing
• is comfortable to work with: the Anoxomat is easy to operate, it uses a plug and play philosophy; "connect and press"
• produces no environmental pollution: no chemical waste, no plastics
• is flexible: you can examine the dishes or include new dishes by opening the jar during incubation, after this by connecting the jar to the Anoxomat again; anaerobic conditions within 70 sec.
• improves productivity in the laboratory. 2 or 3 anaerobic jars can be processed simultaneously, small and big jars can be used together.
• can be used continuously, 365 days a year: no start-up time, maintenance and cleaning is not necessary
• can handle both fluid as well as fixed media
• is easy transportable to other departments simply by using a trolley-wagon
• incorporates high quality components: errors, maintenance and out of order situations are rare
• generates conditions, that are always reproducible: time after time the same anaerobic and/or microaerobic conditions in a jar
• generates low humidity conditions in order to prevent cross-contamination of the bacteria in the anaerobic jar.
• has a built-in Quality Assurance programm which controls 100% anaerobiosis in advance.
• it has been included in the sixth edition of the Wadsworth Anaerobic Bacteriology Manual as one of the preferable methods for growing anaerobic bacteria.

Model Mark II

• Connection for 1 jar (on option extension till 4 jars)
• Connection for 1 gas (the anaerobic gas mixture, on extension till 3 gas)
• Can be used for both fixed and liquid media
• Standard anaerobic & microaerobic recipes
• Recipes with various levels of the gasses N2, CO2, H2 and O2 possible
• on option printer connection for accredition

Anaerobic jars

For the cultivation of anaerobic and microaerophilic microorganisms in a defined gas atmosphere.

Principle: Evacuating (with vacuum pump) and filling with gas (e.g. nitrogen) without chemical accessories, or with chemical anaerobic systems (GasPacks), available as accessories.

They are break-proof and non-ageing, made of robust stainless steel or transparent polycarbonate

Lids: UV-resistant plastic or transparent polycarbonate

The most of them are equipped with two corner valves incl. tube clips for flushing and vacuum hoses (5 mm inner-Ø) with manometer for exact control of the vacuum or over pressure (-1 to 0.2 bar).

On request, the lids are available as custom-made versions, e.g. made of other material, without valves/manometer or equipped with high-temperature manometer.

Racks (optional): For Petri dishes, multiwell plates or test tubes. Equipped with holder for anaerobic systems.
