ANAEROGEN COMPACT W/BAGS

ANAEROGEN COMPACT W/BAGS:

AnaeroGen Compact is a simple system for the anaerobic incubation of up to 4 Petri dishes or an identification panel.

Description
The system consists of a plastic pouch and a paper gas generating sachet. The paper sachet contains ascorbic acid and activated carbon which reacts on with air. Oxygen is rapidly absorbed and carbon dioxide is produced. When the paper sachet is placed in a sealed plastic pouch, this reaction will create ideal atmospheric conditions for the growth of anaerobes. It proceeds with no evolution of hydrogen, and therefore does not require a catalyst. No water is required to activate the reaction. This gives the system many advantages over the commonly used borohydride systems including increased safety and convenience.

When used as directed, the AnaeroGen Compact sachet will reduce the oxygen content in the pouch to below 1% within 30 minutes. The resulting carbon dioxide content will be between 8% and 14%. The level of carbon dioxide will depend on how many plates are placed in the pouch. AnaeroGen Compact has been designed for use with 1-4 plates.

Package contents: 10 Anaerogen Compact Sachets, 10 Plastic Pouches, and 1 Product Insert.
