Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ AnaeroBox™ 3.5L with Lid and Seal

The Thermo Scientific™ Oxoid™ AnaeroBox™ 3.5L is a compact, durable, and efficient solution for creating and maintaining the ideal atmospheric conditions for culturing anaerobic and microaerophilic organisms. Designed to be used with Oxoid™ AnaeroGen™ 3.5L Sachet (AN0035A) and Oxoid™ CampyGen™ 3.5L Sachet (CN0035A), this box enables rapid and hassle-free establishment of specific gaseous environments without the need for water or catalysts.

Key Features

• Efficient Atmospheric Control: Rapidly achieves anaerobic or microaerophilic conditions essential for specific bacterial growth.
• User-Friendly Design: Simple setup with a tightly sealing lid to maintain the required atmosphere.
• Compact Size: A 3.5L capacity, perfect for most laboratory requirements, providing space for plates while minimizing unused volume.
• Safety and Convenience: Operates without hydrogen, water, or catalysts, reducing risks and simplifying use.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for culturing anaerobic bacteria, such as Clostridium spp., and microaerophilic organisms, like Campylobacter spp.

AnaeroBox with Sachet Combinations

1. AnaeroGen™ 3.5L Sachet (AN0035A):
   • Creates an anaerobic atmosphere rapidly.
   • Reduces oxygen levels to less than 1%, supplemented with carbon dioxide.
   • Ideal for the growth of strict anaerobes with enhanced colony size.
   • Produces no hydrogen, ensuring a safe, pressure-free environment.
2. CampyGen™ 3.5L Sachet (CN0035A):
   • Generates a microaerophilic atmosphere containing 8-9% oxygen and 7-8% carbon dioxide.
   • Perfect for cultivating microaerophiles like Campylobacter and Helicobacter spp.
   • Like AnaeroGen™, it operates without water or catalysts and avoids pressure build-up.

Specifications
