Anaerobic workstations

Cultivating oxygen-sensitive microorganisms requires a strictly controlled environment. Specialized systems are used to accomplish this, maintaining the necessary conditions throughout the entire study period. This is why high-quality anaerobic equipment is an essential part of microbiology laboratories, research centers, and medical institutions.

 

What is an anaerobic station?

 

An anaerobic station is specialized equipment designed for culturing microorganisms in the complete absence of oxygen. This station allows for seeding, incubation, and analysis of samples without exposure to atmospheric air. A special atmosphere is maintained within the equipment, the composition of which is automatically controlled. This ensures that the anaerobic environment remains stable throughout the entire work process. Each work zone is equipped with parameter control systems, ensuring the necessary environmental conditions for microorganism growth.

 

Why are anaerobic stations needed for cultivating anaerobes?

 

The main purpose of this equipment is to create conditions under which anaerobic microorganisms can develop without exposure to oxygen. This type of anaerobic environment is used in research in microbiology, clinical diagnostics, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. Each working chamber allows for a wide range of culture manipulations. It can accommodate nutrient media, perform subcultures, study colony growth, and monitor the development of test samples. Oxygen exposure is minimized thanks to the equipment's hermetically sealed design.

 

Modern anaerobic workstations maintain stable pressure, regulate the gas mixture flow, and continuously monitor conditions within the chamber. This is especially important when working with sensitive cultures, where even minor changes in parameters can affect the test results.

 

You can order the following from the Empirica online store:

 

• Whitley A20 Anaerobic Workstation. The high-tech Whitley A20 anaerobic workstation was developed by Don Whitley Scientific for sample processing, incubation, and testing without exposure to atmospheric oxygen. The equipment supports both anaerobic and microaerophilic processes by varying the composition of the gas mixture. This station is compact in size, yet retains a spacious workspace capable of accommodating up to 240 Petri dishes, or even more in emergency cases. The design features oval ports with sleeves that double as mini-airlocks for quick sample transfer.
• Whitley AtmoGen Anaerobic Cultivation System. This anaerobic system uses a specialized gas that quickly creates the necessary environment for anaerobic culture growth. Its sophisticated design ensures a stable supply of gas mixture components and maintains the necessary control of incubation conditions. These anaerobic workstations are particularly convenient for laboratories with small research volumes that don't always require a full-size work chamber. The compact format allows for efficient use of laboratory space while simultaneously providing reliable conditions for microorganism cultivation. The Whitley AtmoGen is suitable for working with a variety of cultures that require a strictly controlled anaerobic environment, and each organism under study requires stable incubation conditions.
