Features

The Whitley Jar Gassing System is the most convenient, rapid and cost-effective way to achieve either anaerobic or microaerobic conditions within a gas jar.  Under two minutes to create an anaerobic environment and just 15 seconds to for microaerophilic conditions.  This compares to between 30-180 minutes to achieve suitable conditions using gas generating sachets or kits.  Numerous studies have shown that organisms have higher recovery rates if they are introduced into the correct incubation environment as soon as possible.

Features

Your current anaerobic jars can be adapted for use with our system

Easily access, add or remove plates from your jars, replace lid and run a new cycle

FAQ's

How does the Whitley Jar Gassing System work?

For anaerobic conditions the Whitley Jar Gassing System removes half the gas in the jar six times and replaces this with anaerobic gas mixture from your gas tank.  A catalyst sachet should be included in the jar.  

For microaerophilic conditions the Whitley Jar Gassing System removes half the air in the jar one time and replaces this with anaerobic gas mixture.

Is a Jar Gassing System right for me?

For some laboratories, the low numbers of samples processed may not justify the purchase price of an anaerobic workstation.  By contrast, other laboratories may be cultivating and studying anaerobes in a workstation, but still use jars for microaerophilic work.  The evacuation and replacement method is considered to be the most efficient way to create anaerobic or microaerophilic conditions within a gas jar.  The Whitley Jar Gassing System produces conditions this way without any of the disadvantages of gas generating envelopes.  There is no chemical waste and condensation levels are much lower, so plates are more convenient to handle and read following incubation.

Accessories

Microbiology International offers two different types of anaerobic jars, plastic or stainless steel, that are compatible with your Whitley Jar Gassing System. The plastic jars have a 9-plate capacity and the lids are fitted with carrier clips for catalyst sachets used for anaerobic cycles. The jars will vent automatically if too much pressure is applied.
The stainless steel jars are available with a 9-plate capacity or 48-plate capacity. They are the most durable jars offered, and are constructed to last sample after sample. The lids are fitted with carrier clips for catalyst sachets used for anaerobic cycles. The jars will vent automatically if too much pressure is applied.
Printer for printing out data for traceability and accreditation purposes
Also Available Adaptor kit for jars fitted with pre-drilled holes Oxiod low temperature catalyst (pack of 5)
