FAQs

1. What is the time taken by anaerobic jar to attain anaerobic condition?

anaerobic jar attains anaerobic condition within 4 hours. However, some anaerobic jars are designed for rapid oxygen removal and can create an anaerobic atmosphere within 15-30 minutes. While others, may take longer especially if they are larger in size or if the catalyst or hydrogen concentration is lower.

2. How does the anaerobic jar create oxygen-free environment?

anaerobic jar creates an oxygen-free environment by using a gas-generating system that produces hydrogen and carbon-dioxide. A palladium catalyst inside the jar then facilitates the reaction between the hydrogen and the residual oxygen to form water, thus removing the oxygen. An airtight seal prevents external air from entering the jar. This process usually takes between 30 minutes to few hours.

3. What type of microorganisms are commonly cultured using the anaerobic jar ?

The anaerobic jar is used to culture obligate anaerobes like Clostridium, facultative anaerobes like Escherichia coli, aero tolerant anaerobes like Lactobacillus and microaerophilic anaerobes like Helicobacter pylori.

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.
