Anaerobic Microaerobic Workstation
The closed operating system of the anaerobic microaerobic workstation enables precise regulation of key parameters such as gas concentration, temperature, and humidity, providing a constant and stable hypoxic or anaerobic environment for operations like inoculation, passaging, media conversion, and colony observation. It is ideal for strains strictly reliant on anaerobic conditions or sensitive to oxygen concentration, such as Shigella, Campylobacter jejuni, and Clostridium botulinum.
Main Features
- Multi-species adaptation: Temperature and gas environment can be set for various strains, meeting national standards for cultures like Shigella, Campylobacter, and Clostridium.
- Precise environmental control: Oxygen concentration adjustable from 0% to 10%, supporting complete anaerobic to microaerobic experimental needs.
- Adjustable temperature control: Precision thermostat module allows culture temperature settings from 25°C to 45°C.
- Integrated operation chamber: Fully enclosed area with transparent walls and sealed sleeves for sterile, anaerobic operation.
- Intelligent monitoring: Real-time display and recording of gas concentration, temperature, humidity, with abnormal alarm functions.
- Convenient gas channel: Multiple gas interfaces support precise mixing and injection of nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, etc.
- Clean air management: HEPA high-efficiency filtration device prevents sample contamination and cross-infection.
Advantages
- High operational flexibility: Supports full anaerobic operation and precise micro-oxygen control (1–5%) for varied experimental design.
- Improved repeatability & safety: Automated environment control and monitoring reduce human error and enhance experimental consistency.
- Safer sample processing: Avoids oxygen exposure risk from repeated tank switching, maintains microbial activity.
- Energy-saving & efficient: Low power consumption (4A) for stable operation.
- High-throughput operation: Supports multiple media and sample processing for medium and large labs/testing centers.
Working Principle
- Gas mixing & injection: High-precision mixing of nitrogen, hydrogen, and CO₂, injected into the chamber.
- Chemical deoxidation: Built-in catalyst and trace hydrogen react to rapidly consume residual oxygen.
- Constant temperature & humidity: Heating element and ultrasonic humidifier maintain stable environmental conditions.
- Sealed operation: Cuffs and hatches prevent oxygen leakage, keeping samples in target gas state.
- Feedback control: Sensors monitor O₂ and CO₂, automatically adjusting gas input for stability.
Application Fields
- Public health & disease control: Quantitative analysis of pathogenic bacteria for food safety standards (e.g., Shigella, Clostridium perfringens).
- Clinical microbiology: Cultivation and identification of anaerobic pathogens (e.g., Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium difficile).
- Food microbiology: Culture/ID of strains related to food preservation (e.g., fermented lactic acid bacteria).
- Environmental microecology: Studies on anaerobic ecosystems, soil, water, sewage flora metabolism.
- Basic scientific research: Cell metabolism, virulence expression, drug resistance mutation under microaerobic conditions.
- Biopharmaceutical & vaccine R&D: Stable cultivation environment for anaerobic strains and metabolite collection.
