Application

Anaerocult^™P is a microbiological reagent for generating an anaerobic atmosphere in a single Petri dish to permit the cultivation of obligate and facultative anaerobes.

General description

Anaerocult^™ P device is used for anaerobic incubation of individual Petri dishes. Anaerotest^™ strip (1.32371.0001) attached to the lid of the Petri dish as well as Anaerocult^™ P sachet is moistened with water and placed in a special incubation bag, which is subsequently sealed. It contains components that chemically bind oxygen quickly and completely, creating an oxygen-free environment and a CO₂-containing atmosphere. Each Petri dish can be incubated immediately after receiving the sample. This sachet is ideal for both urgent cases and the cultivation of extremely oxygen-sensitive microorganisms. Incubation of individual Petri dishes permits each one to be cultivated separately over time and at the temperature required. It also prevents interactions between the microorganisms on different plates. The transparent incubation bag allows anaerobic growth in the closed anaerobic system to be evaluated visually at any given time.
