FAQs

1. What is the maximum number of petri dishes or culture tubes that the anaerobic jar can accommodate at one time?

The anaerobic jar can accommodate up to 25 petri dishes at once, organized in a single stack of 12 dishes with diameters ranging from 90 to 100 mm.

2. How long does it take to achieve anaerobic environment within the anaerobic jar ?

Anaerobic jar requires approximately 4 hours to achieve anaerobic environment. This process is facilitated by its robust design, which includes a strong jar-lid clamp construction and O-ring sealing. These features ensure an airtight performance essential for maintaining anaerobic conditions.

3. How often should the catalyst be replaced to maintain optimal performance?

Replace the anaerobic jar’s catalyst every 6 to 12 months, considering factors like usage and type. Regularly check for wear, damage or contamination, as these indicate the need for replacement to perform optimal performance.

4. What is an anaerobic jar?

An anaerobic jar is a specialized container used in laboratories to create an oxygen-free environment for culturing anaerobic bacteria. It typically consists of a sealed jar with a catalyst that removes oxygen by catalysing its reaction with hydrogen to form water. Additionally, our anaerobic jar has a gas-generating sachet containing a mixture of chemicals is often placed inside the jar to produce carbon-dioxide and hydrogen, further depleting oxygen levels.

5. What are the essential components for operating an anaerobic jar?

Essential components for the operation of an anaerobic jar include an air-tight jar, lid with a gas-tight seal, gas-generating sachet, a palladium catalyst, an indicator strip such as methylene blue to confirm the absence of oxygen.

6. How long does it typically take to create an aerobic environment?

The time needed to create an anaerobic environment in an anaerobic jar depends on the type of gas-generating system used. Generally, it takes about 30 minutes to a few hours to completely remove oxygen and create the anaerobic conditions. This can be verified by checking the indicator strip inside the jar.

7. What maintenance do anaerobic jars require?

Maintenance of anaerobic jar includes inspecting and replacing gaskets regularly, cleaning the jar and lid after each use, verifying the palladium catalyst, and storing jars in a cool, dry locations for optimal performance and durability.

8. What safety measures should be taken when using anaerobic jars?

When using anaerobic jars, handle them carefully, seal them tightly after creating an oxygen-free environment, wear appropriate gloves and goggles, and follow proper gas handling procedures. Regularly inspect equipment, monitor gas levels, and train personnel in safety protocols to minimize risks.
