Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ Anaerogen™ Anaerobic Gas packs

The Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ AnaeroGen™ CO₂ Gas Packs are specially designed for creating optimal atmospheric conditions for the cultivation of anaerobic microorganisms. These gas-generation sachets are compatible with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid Anaerobic Jars of 2.5L and 3.5L capacities. The sachets are highly efficient, requiring no water or catalyst, and produce no hydrogen gas, ensuring a safe, user-friendly, and effective setup for anaerobic culturing.

Key Features

• Efficient Gas Generation: Produces the optimal low-oxygen conditions required for anaerobic growth with a controlled CO₂-enriched environment.
• Hydrogen-Free Operation: Ensures safety by eliminating the production of hydrogen gas, making it ideal for any laboratory setting.
• No Additional Requirements: Functions without water or catalysts, simplifying the setup process.
• High Compatibility: Designed to work seamlessly with Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid Anaerobic Jars (2.5L and 3.5L).
• Convenient Packaging: Available in packs of 10 sachets, each supporting up to 2.5L or 3.5L jars, depending on the sachet size.

Usage Instructions

1. Select the Correct Sachet:
   • Use AnaeroGen™ 3.5L Sachet for 3.5L jars.
   • Use AnaeroGen™ 2.5L Sachet for 2.5L jars.
2. Place the Sachet in the Jar:
   • Add the sachet to the Anaerobic Jar along with culture plates.
3. Seal the Jar:
   • Secure the jar lid tightly to ensure the atmosphere is maintained.
4. Atmosphere Generation:
   • The sachet activates upon exposure to air, rapidly reducing oxygen levels while increasing CO₂ concentrations.
5. Incubate:
   • Incubate the sealed jar at the appropriate temperature for the target microorganisms.

Storage and Handling

• Storage: Keep sachets in a cool, dry environment, away from moisture and heat sources.
• Shelf Life: Refer to the product label for the expiration date.
• Disposal: Dispose of used sachets in accordance with local regulations.

Packaging
