Usage Instructions

1. Select the Correct Sachet:
   • Use the CampyGen 3.5L Sachet for 3.5L jars or containers.
   • Use the CampyGen 2.5L Sachet for 2.5L jars or containers.
2. Placement:
   • Place the sachet inside the anaerobic jar or container along with the culture plates.
3. Activation:
   • Seal the jar lid tightly to activate the sachet. The sachet will begin absorbing oxygen and generating carbon dioxide.
4. Incubation:
   • Incubate the 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.
• Shelf Life: Check the expiration date on the packaging for best results.
• Disposal: Dispose of used sachets in accordance with local regulations.
