The anaerobic chamber is one of the best solutions for incubating anaerobes, i.e., bacteria that can live in the absence of oxygen. Also known as a laboratory glove box, the anaerobic chambers are designed to improve the culturing and the identification process for drug discovery and infectious diseases.
We have years of experience In the design, development & production of anaerobic workstations. We can also offer a bespoke design service in accordance with our customers specific requirements. The cabinets incorporate many advanaced features which vary significantly from other cabinets on the market. The cabinets are fabricated from high quality acrylic material to give good thermal insulation, ergonomic design & a incorporating an unobstructed viewing area.
Types of Anaerobic Chambers
1.
AW200SG
The AW200SG is the smallest of MUNRO’s range of Anaerobic workstations. It is ideal for the laboratory
where oxygen free conditions are required for the growth and identification of bacteria. Its small bench
size makes the AW200SG ideal for the individual research project.
The unit will incubate 220 petri dishes and has a 10 dish transfer port. The workstation operates from a
single cylinder of anaerobic mixed gas and is very economical on gas usage.
The product comes complete with automatic humidity control, oxygen indicator equipment, internal
mains socket, spotlight, catalyst, plate holders and gauntlets. It is ready to work once it is plugged into its
electricity and gas supplies.
Top Plate Access: The transfer port is situated on top of the workstation and will hold 10 petri dishes.
This will allow rapid transfer of dishes both into and out of the incubator. The positive pressure inside the
cabinet and the doors at each end of the lock, together with the fast acting gas inlet switching, ensures
that the workstation remains anaerobic at all times.
AW200SG Small & Compact
Glove Free Operation: This unique bare hand method is very
simple to operate. Air-tight seals fit around the user’s wrists
as shown and the anaerobic atmosphere is maintained. The
design eliminates the use of footswitches & gets rid of
large internal arm port bungs, giving more working
room inside the incubator. The system is very
economic on gas usage and the hands can be
inserted in seconds.
Controls: The unit works automatically without the use of footswitches or pushbuttons and the controls are not
needed for routine operation.
Admitting Equipment: Equipment can be placed inside the incubator through the arm ports prior to
commissioning.
Anaerobic Indication: A small pump together with an oxygen-sensitive liquid indicator is provided with the
workstation.
Bench Area: The workstation occupies a minimum amount of bench area and is completely self contained.
Visibility: The visibility is excellent. Four of the cabinet’s surfaces are transparent and this is further enhanced
by a narrow angle, low voltage spotlight. There are no folds in the front viewing window to obstruct clear
vision.
Working Position: Working inside the incubator is very comfortable & all parts can be reached without effort.
Construction: The unit is made using high quality acrylic and the seams are welded to ensure leak-free joints.
Temperature: The temperature is controlled by an adjustable electronic controller and an internal digital
thermometer displays the temperature.
Humidity: The R.H. within the incubator is controlled by a humidistat and fan cooled condensation plate
situated at the rear. The distillate is collected in a drainable bottle.
Internal Power Socket: A mains socket is provided to facilitate the use of electrical equipment inside the
chamber.
Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker: The workstation is fitted with a safety device to protect the operator against
electric shock.
The AW200SG can also be used as a microaerophylic incubator by using an alternate gas supply
2.

workstation.
Bench Area: The workstation occupies a minimum amount of bench area, is portable and completely self
contained.
Visibility: The visibility inside the incubator is excellent. Six of the cabinet’s surfaces are transparent and this is
further enhanced by a narrow angle, low voltage spotlight. There are no folds in the front viewing window to
obstruct clear vision.
Gas Control: The internal gas pressure is controlled electronically and a gas leak detector and alarm are built
into the circuitry.
Working Position: Working inside the incubator is very comfortable & all parts can be reached without effort.
Construction: The unit is made using high quality acrylic and the seams are welded to ensure leak-free joints.
Temperature: The temperature is controlled by an adjustable electronic controller which incorporates an
integral digital thermometer.
Humidity: The R.H. within the incubator is controlled by a humidistat and fan cooled condensation plate
situated at the rear. The condensation is collected in a removable bottle.
Internal Power Socket: A mains socket is provided to facilitate the use of electrical equipment inside the
chamber.
Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker: The workstation is fitted with a safety device to protect the operator against
electric shock. The AW300SG can also be used as a microaerophilic incubator by using an alternate gas supply.
3.
AW400TG
This range of workstations is ideal for the laboratory where oxygen free conditions are required for the growth
and identification of bacteria.
The careful configuration gives the units a small bench area yet ample working room within the incubator. The
AW400TG is particularly economic to run due to its dual gas design, comes complete with catalyst sachets and
plate holders and requires only electricity and gas supplies to be fully functional.
