Product catalog summary
Overview of Bactron Anaerobic/Environmental Chambers
The Bactron series offers a range of anaerobic and environmental chambers designed for laboratories requiring oxygen-free environments. These chambers are essential for culturing anaerobic organisms, which are prevalent in clinical diagnoses, research, and commercial processes like food fermentation.

Model Specifications
  • BACTRONEZ: Smallest model with a 300 plate capacity, ideal for smaller labs or as a starter unit.
  • BACTRON300: Offers a compact design with a 300 plate capacity, providing ample workspace for anaerobic procedures.
  • BACTRON600: Features a 600 plate capacity with space-saving rotating shelves.
  • BACTRON900: Includes a rear wall incubator for a total capacity of 900 plates, with independent temperature control.
  • BACTROX: Hypoxia chamber with precise oxygen and carbon dioxide control, suitable for microaerophilic bacteriology and hypoxic tissue culture.

Key Features
  • Gloveless design for comfortable handling.
  • Separate incubator from the working chamber.
  • Manual or automatic air lock with palladium catalyst cartridge.
  • Five standard models with exclusive gas connections.
  • Twenty-four-month warranty (twelve months for BACTRONEZ).

Efficiency and Workflow
Bactron chambers improve productivity by reducing sample turnaround time by up to 50%. The workflow is simplified with an automatic air lock module that exchanges room air for Anaerobic Mixed Gas (AMG).

Construction and Safety
  • Constructed with heavy-duty stainless steel and Plexiglas for durability and visibility.
  • Full third-party safety certification, meeting EN61010, UL61010, and Can/CSA61010 standards.

Advanced Features
  • Microprocessor controls for chamber atmosphere management.
  • Oxygen catalyst and humidity controls to maintain anaerobic conditions.
  • Revolving shelves in larger models for efficient storage.
  • Optional microscope adapters and vacuum pumps available.

Conclusion
Bactron anaerobic chambers offer a versatile and efficient solution for laboratories handling anaerobic samples. With various models and advanced features, they provide significant cost savings and improved laboratory results.

Bactron® Anaerobic/Environmental Chambers 300 - 900 Plate Capacity BACTRONEZ The BACTRONEZ is the smallest of the line with a 300 plate capacity. It’s modular configuration allows users to choose the options that best fit their specific work flow needs. Our most popular model, the BACTRON300, provides a larger workspace than the BactronEZ and a 300 plate capacity. The BACTRON600 offers a 600 plate capacity incubator with a space saving rotating shelf design. Two rear mounted shelves help keep your workspace organized. The BACTRON900 has an added rear wall incubator, with an independent temperature...

Anaerobic Conditions for Microbiology & Cell Biology Anaerobes are organisms that can grow without oxygen. Some can live when oxygen is present (facultative) and some cannot tolerate even a trace of oxygen (strict or obligatory). Anaerobes are very prevalent, many are part of the normal human flora, and make up an estimated 50% of the earth’s biota. Dozens of common infections are either exclusively anaerobic or are mixed aerobic/anaerobic. Some obligatory anaerobes may cause serious infections such as tetanus, gas gangrene, or botulism (through tainted food products). Therefore, isolation and...

Notable Features of Bactron Anaerobic Chambers Patented Cuffs Comfortable, sleeve cuffs seal around the operator’s arms to permit barehanded manipulation of plates and specimens inside the working chamber. The elimination of bulky gloves makes work more comfortable and efficient. Latex gloves may be worn, if desired. Foot Pedals* Convenient foot pedals are used by the operator to evacuate the sleeves before entering the working chamber. Arm Port Doors Sealed, access doors are removed when entering the working anaerobic chamber. The doors are kept on holders inside the chamber while the user’s...

Bactrox Hypoxia Chamber The SHEL LAB BACTROX offers precise oxygen and carbon dioxide control in a range from 1% to 20% for microaerophilic bacteriology and hypoxic tissue or cell culture applications. Unlike a tri-gas incubator, the BACTROX allows for microaerophilic bacteriology and hypoxic tissue or cell culture work to be performed in desired oxygen conditions throughout all culturing processes. The BACTROX is a complete workstation so bacteria and cells are likely to grow faster and show less damage. Advanced Atmospheric PID Controller • Highly Accurate Zirconium Dioxide Oxygen Sensor Standard...
