All equipment brands and models are available.

Anaerobic workstations, also referred to as anaerobic chambers or anaerobic glove boxes, are used whenever there is an experiment requiring the handling of oxygen-sensitive materials.

An enormous range of labs use them, but companies researching biofuels, cell culture, studying microbiology, creating new drugs, and identifying infectious diseases all find these machines invaluable.

Using various concentrations of hydrogen, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide to remove the oxygen that could compromise an experiment, the chamber allows researchers to incubate, culture, process, or examine microorganisms without issue. The gas mixture is usually circulated through the chamber using a heated palladium catalyst. The use of a hydrogen gas mix, for example, can remove oxygen to 0-5 parts per million (ppm).

Due to their self-contained nature and airlocks, anaerobic workstations, such as the Bactron anaerobic chamber, do an excellent job controlling vexing experimental variables such as temperature, humidity and O². This provides a stable and optimal anaerobic atmosphere for scientists and researchers to use.
