Robust Construction for Repeat UseCrafted from high-quality polycarbonate, this anaerobic culture jar is both transparent and exceptionally durable. Its resilience allows for repeated autoclaving, ensuring long-term usability and sustained performance. The clear material allows for easy observation of culture development without disrupting the anaerobic environment, a critical advantage for efficient laboratory work.
Reliable Sealing and Pressure ResistanceA precision-engineered silicone rubber gasket ensures airtight closure, which is fundamental to maintaining anaerobic conditions during microbial cultivation. The jar can safely withstand internal pressures up to 1.5 kg/cm, making it suitable for standard laboratory applications involving the incubation of oxygen-sensitive organisms.
Versatile Laboratory ApplicationsDesigned specifically for 90 mm standard Petri plates, the jar is suitable for microbiological, clinical, and educational analyses. Its user-friendly design and autoclavability support a variety of research purposes, ranging from bacterial identification to drug resistance testing under strict anaerobic conditions.
FAQs of Anaerobic Culture Jar:
Q: How does the Anaerobic Culture Jar create and maintain an oxygen-free environment?
A: The jar relies on an airtight seal provided by a silicone rubber gasket. Anaerobic gas-generating sachets or systems are placed inside to remove residual oxygen, establishing an anaerobic environment optimal for cultivating oxygen-sensitive bacteria.
Q: What samples and plates are compatible with this culture jar?
A: This jar is specifically designed to accommodate 90 mm standard Petri plates, which are commonly used for cultivating bacteria and other microorganisms in laboratory settings.
Q: When should I autoclave the anaerobic culture jar?
A: The jar should be autoclaved before and after use to ensure sterility. Its polycarbonate construction and silicone rubber gasket are fully autoclavable, supporting standard laboratory sterilization procedures.
Q: Where is this jar typically used?
A: Anaerobic culture jars are commonly found in microbiology, clinical, research, and educational laboratories, where strict anaerobic conditions are needed to grow and study bacteria that cannot survive in the presence of oxygen.
Q: What is the maximum pressure the jar can withstand during use?
A: The jar can safely handle internal pressures up to 1.5 kg/cm, making it suitable for standard anaerobic cultivation procedures and pressure variations during gas generation.
Q: How do I ensure proper sealing of the jar during the process?
A: To ensure a proper seal, check that the silicone rubber gasket is positioned correctly and free from debris. Secure the lid firmly before starting the anaerobic generation process. Regularly inspect the gasket for any signs of wear.
Q: What are the main benefits of using a polycarbonate culture jar in the lab?
A: Polycarbonate offers excellent durability, impact resistance, and clarity, allowing for safe, repeated sterilization in an autoclave. Its transparency permits easy observation of cultures, minimizing the risk of contaminating the contents during checks.
