Anaerobic Chamber Ideal for Low Oxygen Conditions

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 24 May 2012
An anaerobic chamber is ideal for low oxygen conditions in microaerophilic bacteriology, tissue, and cell culture applications.

The Shel Lab Bactrox chamber was introduced by Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc. More...
(Cornelius, OR, USA) and is the latest addition to its Bactron line of anaerobic chambers. The Bactrox offers precise oxygen and carbon dioxide control from 1%-20%.

The Bactrox is suitable for clinical and research microbiology, stem cell research, and mammalian cancer research. The chamber preserves optimal application conditions not only during incubation but also in the chamber workstation. Removal of cultures from the incubator does not require exposure of cells to undesirable oxygen or carbon dioxide levels.

The atmosphere in the unit is controlled by an accurate and long-lasting zirconium dioxide oxygen sensor, with independent oxygen and carbon dioxide control and logging. This minimizes setting up time. The Bactrox also has a standalone 300 plate incubator so users can comfortably work without gloves in ambient room conditions.

There is a large vacuum-less sample pass box that takes only 60 seconds to purge. The new design provides a vacuum-less sleeve entry into the chamber. Other features of this unit include temperature control and logging, superior condensation control, and ultra-bright light-emitting diode (LED) examination lights inside the chamber.
