Jar gassing system gains a colour touch screen

The West Yorkshire, UK-based firm says the system runs from one cylinder of mixed gas and there are separate cycles to prepare anaerobic or microaerobic conditions. It takes less than two minutes and about 18p to create an anaerobic environment, and just 15 seconds and less than 3p to achieve microaerobic conditions.

According to the company, laboratories with low sample throughput can justify this system as a compact and cost-effective alternative to a workstation.

Using the Whitley jar gassing system also eliminates chemical waste and reduces condensation so that samples can be handled and read more easily following incubation, the company says.

Optional accessories include adaptor kits for reusing existing anaerobic jars.
