Product Description
Anaerobic Culture Jar With Vacuum Cun Pressure Gauge
A side arm on the jar is provided for connecting to semi solid locus indicator (The jar is supplied without semi solid locus indicator) with pressure cum vacuum gauge.
Robust Construction and Safety FeaturesManufactured using SS 304 or 316 stainless steel, this anaerobic culture jar ensures durability, resistance to corrosion, and safe operation in demanding laboratory environments. The double-walled, vacuum-insulated chamber provides heat uniformity, while a silicone rubber gasket and safety pressure release valve guarantee leak-proof and secure culturing of anaerobic bacteria. All connections are designed with leak-proof piping to prevent accidental exposure.
User-Friendly Design and VersatilityEquipped with detachable components, a quick-release clamp-type lid, integrated pressure/vacuum gauge, and optional transparent observation window, this jar offers flexibility and user convenience. Trolleys for both inside and outside make plate handling and jar movement simple. Compatible with autoclave sterilization (up to 121C), it's suitable for various laboratory procedures and supports routine clinical microbiology applications efficiently.
FAQ's of Anaerobic Culture Jar With Vacuum Cun Pressure Gauge:
Q: How is anaerobic cultivation achieved using this culture jar?
A: Anaerobic cultivation is accomplished by placing Petri dishes inside the jar, sealing it with the silicone rubber gasket and quick-release lid, then evacuating the air and replacing it with an appropriate anaerobic gas mixture using the integrated piping and rubber septum.
Q: What materials make up the jar, and how does this benefit laboratory use?
A: The jar is made from high-grade stainless steel (SS 304/316), offering chemical resistance, long-term durability, and easy cleaning-advantages that support frequent use in microbiology laboratories.
Q: When should the safety release valve be used during operation?
A: The safety pressure release valve should be engaged if the internal pressure exceeds recommended levels (up to 2.0 kg/cm2), or before opening the jar after culturing, ensuring safe handling and preventing sudden release of gases.
Q: Where can this culture jar be utilized?
A: This anaerobic culture jar is suitable for table-top use in laboratories, clinical microbiology departments, educational institutes, and research facilities specializing in anaerobic bacterial cultivation.
Q: What is the process for cleaning the jar after use?
A: All components, including the inner trolley and rack, are detachable. After use, remove these parts and clean them with appropriate disinfectants. The stainless steel construction allows for simple washing and sterilization, including autoclaving up to 121C.
Q: How are pressure and vacuum levels monitored and maintained?
A: A Bourdon type vacuum cum pressure gauge is integrated into the jar to display current internal pressure or vacuum. Inlet and outlet valves, including a rubber septum for manual gas filling or evacuation, allow precise control to maintain required atmospheric conditions for anaerobic bacteria.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using this anaerobic culture jar in a laboratory setting?
A: The jar offers reliable anaerobic conditions, robust safety features, portability, compatibility with autoclave sterilization, easy maintenance, and observation options-streamlining the process of anaerobic culturing while ensuring user safety and operational efficiency.
