Bactron-Anaerobic Chamber
 



No gloves. No jars or bags. Room temperature working conditions.
True comfort.

Patented BACTRON anaerobic/environmental systems allow efficient and dexterous glove-free handling and inspection of samples. Comfortable arm cuffs, which are available in three sizes, fit snugly around the users forearm. The convenient foot pedals are used to evacuate oxygen and add anaerobic gas to the sleeves while the airlock auto-cycle facilitates oxygen-free transfer of samples and supplies in the chamber. Indicator lights will signal that the air-lock is anaerobic and ready to be opened into the chamber. Simply open arm port doors and place on the convenient shelf or racks for out-of-the-way storage. Samples and supplies can then be brought into the chamber with ease from the sliding airlock shelf.

BACTRON: Value
The BACTRON Anaerobic Chamber systems are just that: a system. All components for trouble-free use are included with your initial purchase, including a vacuum pump, sleeves, cuffs and all the necessary tubing.
BACTRON: Versatility
The SHEL LAB BACTRON Anaerobic & Environmental Chamber line offers multiple high-value features and essential benefits. Incubator Petri plate capacities and chamber dimensions accommodate varied laboratory needs and budgets. Ranging from 100 to 900 Petri plate incubator capacities, the BACTRON Chamber line can address a myriad of anaerobic, hypoxic or other special gas environment applications.
BACTRON: Innovation
The dedicated incubators mean that all Bactron Chambers have an ambient-temperature workspace. This allows users to stay inside the chamber for extended periods of time without becoming uncomfortable. Our innovative humidity control system provides a condensation free environment that allows for clear, easy inspection of cultures.
The Bactron Chamber is constructed of highly resilient materials. The sturdy Plexiglas hood and durable stainless steel body ensure years of long, trouble-free use. The BACTRON line of anaerobic chambers feature a unique pressure-management system inside the chamber for comfortable use and strict anaerobic conditions. A manometer is located inside the chamber to provide a visual reference and to relieve pressure during use for comfort and convenience.
Many BACTRON users have learned to save time, and conserve gas by bringing small items into the chamber using the gloveless sleeve system.
The Interior Airlock of the BAC II, III, and IV is equipped with a sliding tray to easily bring items into the anaerobic workspace.

The Bactron Product Offering
The BACTRON I & II are very similar units differing in size but not in performance. The BACTRON I is the smallest of the fleet with a 100 plate capacity. Our most popular seller, the BACTRON II, provides larger workspace and plate capacity.
The BACTRON III uses a rear wall incubator with sliding doors to increase plate capacity to 300. This compact design provides the most incubation room with the smallest foot print
The BACTRON IV offers 600 plate capacity by using a space saving rotating shelf design. Two rear mounted shelves help keep your workspace organized.
The BACTRON IV 900 has the same specifications as the standard BACTRON IV with the addition of a rear wall incubator. With capacity of 900 plates this unit will suffice for even the busiest lab.
