• Culturing anaerobic pathogens such as Clostridium spp., Bacteroides spp., and Fusobacterium spp..
• Cultivation of microaerophiles like Campylobacter spp. and Helicobacter pylori.

2. Food Microbiology

• Detection of anaerobic spoilage organisms in food products.
• Analysis of microaerophilic pathogens in meat and dairy.

3. Research and Diagnostics

• Study of anaerobic bacteria in environmental samples.
• Cultivation of organisms requiring enriched CO₂ conditions for molecular or biochemical studies.

4. Industrial Microbiology

• Supporting fermentation processes requiring strict atmospheric control.

Benefits

• Efficient Atmospheric Control: Maintains optimal environments for strict anaerobes and microaerophiles.
• Compact and Portable: Lightweight and easy to handle with the integrated carrying handle.
• Large Plate Capacity: Holds up to 12 plates, allowing for simultaneous incubation of multiple samples.
• Durability: Polycarbonate construction ensures resistance to wear and long-term reliability.
• Safety Features: Vacuum release and self-venting clips prevent overpressure and ensure secure operation.

Usage Instructions

1. Preparation:
   • Place the plate carrier into the AnaeroJar and load culture plates.
2. Atmosphere Generation:
   • Use compatible atmosphere generation systems (e.g., AnaeroGen™, CampyGen™, or CO₂ sachets) to establish the required conditions.
3. Securing the Lid:
   • Align the lid and secure it with the four self-venting clips to create a tight seal.
4. Incubation:
   • Incubate the AnaeroJar at the appropriate temperature for the target microorganism.
5. Opening the Jar:
   • Use the vacuum release feature to safely remove the lid after incubation.

Storage and Maintenance

• Jar Storage: Keep at room temperature in a clean and dry environment.
• Cleaning: Wash with mild detergent and water; avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the polycarbonate material.
• Regularly inspect the jar for signs of wear or damage, especially around the sealing surfaces.

Packaging

• Product: AnaeroJar™ 2.5L
• Included: Polycarbonate jar base, lid with handle and vacuum release, and plate carrier.
