Product catalog summary
Introduction
Ruskinn offers a range of anaerobic and microaerophilic workstations designed for microbiologists to efficiently grow obligate or facultative anaerobes. These workstations are trusted globally, with over 1000 installations in more than 40 countries.

Specifications and Features
  • Temperature and Humidity Control: Accurate temperature control from ambient +5˚C to 45˚C and automated humidity control to prevent dry spots.
  • Anaerobic Environment Maintenance: Palladium catalyst and anaerobic color-indicator strips ensure anoxic conditions.
  • Entry Systems: Ezee Sleeve™ allows quick access without disrupting the atmosphere, and the Single Plate Entry System (SPES) facilitates quick plate transfers.
  • Lighting and Inspection: Energy-saving lighting and a high-intensity inspection spot lamp for sample analysis.
  • Microaerophilic Options: Available in Bugbox M and Concept 400M with I-CO2N2IC gas mixing system.

User Experience
Workstations offer quick access with gloveless entry systems, short airlock cycle times, and convenient controls. They include features like petri dish holders and microaerophilic options for growing facultative anaerobes.

Protection and Versatility
The airtight chamber is flooded with an anaerobic gas mix, and any residual O2 is scavenged by a palladium catalyst. Multiple models are available to fit various workloads, from personal to large-scale operations.

Models and Capacities
  • Bugbox: Up to 200 plates, 15-second interlock transfer.
  • Bugbox PLUS: Up to 180 plates, 35-second interlock transfer.
  • Concept 400: Up to 471 plates, 45-second interlock transfer.
  • Concept PLUS: Up to 520 plates, 5-minute automated interlock transfer.
  • Concept 1000: Dual chambers, up to 942 plates, 5-minute shared interlock transfer.

Economic and Reliable
These workstations offer low gas consumption, minimal maintenance, and lower costs per plate compared to anaerobic jars.

Options and Accessories
Available options include vacuum line ports, gas sample ports, cable gland ports, ultrasonic humidity control, and more. Some models offer microaerophilic cycling with user-defined O2 and CO2 concentrations.

Conclusion
Baker Ruskinn's anaerobic workstations provide precise control for anoxic and low-oxygen studies, enhancing research outcomes in microbiology and tissue/cell culture applications.

Anaerobic & Microaerophilic Workstations-3

Economic and Reliable for Long Term Savings ·· Standard dual gas operation - low gas consumption and running costs. ·· Lower cost per plate compared to anaerobic jars. ·· Minimal maintenance and downtime - with annual or biennial preventative maintenance kits available. Designed to Protect Your Results ·· The acrylic airtight chamber is flooded with anaerobic gas mix (H2 in N2) and O2 is displaced. ·· If any O2 remains or is allowed to enter, it is "scavenged” by a palladium catalyst, situated under the floor tray - the O2 reacts with the H2 to form water. ·· Interlock uses an N2 purge, so when...
