Description
It is ideal anaerobic workstation for the laboratory where oxygen free conditions are required for the growth and identification of bacteria. It has a large transfer port is fitted to the units.
The unit will incubate 500 Petri dishes and has a 60 dish transfer port. The workstation operates from a single cylinder of anaerobic mixed gas and is very economical on gas usage.
The product comes complete with automatic humidity control, oxygen indicator equipment, internal mains socket, spotlight, catalyst, plate holders and gauntlets. It is ready to work once it is plugged into its electricity and gas supplies.
It is possible to work without gloves. The unique bare hand method is very simple to operate. Air-tight seals fit around the user’s wrists as shown and the anaerobic atmosphere is maintained. The design eliminates the use of footswitches & gets rid of large internal arm port bungs, giving more working room inside the incubator. The system is very economic on gas usage and the hands can be inserted in seconds.
Equipment can be placed inside the incubator through the arm ports prior to commissioning.
A small pump together with an oxygen-sensitive liquid indicator is provided with the workstation.
The AW500SG can also be used as a microaerophylic incubator by using an alternate gas supply.
The temperature is controlled by an adjustable electronic controller and an internal digital thermometer displays the temperature. The humidity within the incubator is controlled by a humidistat and fan cooled condensation plate
situated at the rear. The distillate is collected in a drainable bottle.
