A35 Workstation

Key Features of the A35 Anaerobic Workstation :
Anaerobic Environment Control :
Gas Mix Control : The A35 workstation is equipped with systems to replace ambient air with a mixture of gases such as nitrogen (N2), hydrogen (H2), and carbon dioxide (CO2). This gas mixture creates the optimal anaerobic environment for the growth of anaerobic microorganisms.

Oxygen-Free Conditions : The system ensures that the oxygen level inside the workstation is minimized to as low as 0.1% or less, maintaining an oxygen-free atmosphere for growing anaerobes.

Hydrogen Catalyst : Often, the workstation uses a hydrogen catalyst to help remove any residual oxygen, ensuring that anaerobic conditions are maintained throughout the culture process.
Compact Design :
Space Efficiency : The A35 workstation is designed to be relatively compact, making it suitable for labs with limited space. Despite its size, it is efficient in maintaining anaerobic conditions.

Sealed Chamber : The workstation is typically a sealed, airtight chamber, and it usually features glove ports or manipulation devices that allow researchers to handle cultures inside the chamber without exposing them to oxygen.
Oxygen Monitoring :
Oxygen Indicator Strips : The A35 anaerobic workstation often includes an oxygen indicator system, such as a color-changing strip, to visually verify the oxygen concentration within the chamber. These indicators help ensure that the environment remains completely oxygen-free.

Real-Time Oxygen Monitoring : More advanced models may include a real-time oxygen monitoring system that continuously tracks oxygen levels inside the chamber.
Ease of Use :
User-Friendly Interface : The A35 workstation usually features an intuitive interface for controlling the atmosphere, monitoring oxygen levels, and adjusting the gas mixture. This may include digital controls and display screens that make it easy to manage the environment.

Glove Ports or Manipulation Devices : Like most anaerobic workstations, the A35 is equipped with glove ports or other handling systems that allow users to perform tasks like streaking agar plates or transferring cultures inside the workstation while maintaining anaerobic conditions.
