The Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Resazurin Anaerobic Indicator is a simple and reliable accessory for anaerobic jar systems, designed to verify the establishment and maintenance of anaerobic conditions. Each indicator is a cotton strip impregnated with resazurin, a redox-sensitive dye that changes color based on the oxygen levels in the environment, providing a visual confirmation of anaerobic conditions.
Key Features
- Redox-Sensitive Indicator: Changes color to verify anaerobic conditions—blue in the presence of oxygen and white under anaerobic conditions.
- Compatible with Anaerobic Systems: Ideal for use with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ anaerobic jars and gas-generation systems.
- Convenient Packaging: Supplied in packs of 100 strips for ease of use and cost efficiency.
- Simple and Reliable: Provides a quick and easy visual confirmation of anaerobic environments without the need for additional equipment.
- Long Shelf Life: Designed for consistent performance and durability in laboratory settings.

Usage Instructions
- Preparation:
- Place a Resazurin Anaerobic Indicator strip inside the anaerobic jar before sealing.
- Activation:
- Use the anaerobic atmosphere generation system (e.g., AnaeroGen™ sachets) to establish anaerobic conditions in the jar.
- Observation:
- Blue Color: Indicates the presence of oxygen.
- White Color: Confirms anaerobic conditions have been achieved.
- Monitoring:
- Periodically check the indicator to ensure anaerobic conditions are maintained throughout incubation.
Storage and Handling
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture to maintain effectiveness.
- Shelf Life: Refer to the packaging for the expiration date.
- Disposal: Dispose of used strips in accordance with local regulations.
