Microaerobic workstation; 4-gas system with built-in gas sensing technology

Microaerobic Workstation

The Whitley Workstation M45 is a Microaerobic workstation ideal for the study and isolation of Campylobacter spp, Helicobacter pylori and other similarly fastidious organisms. This is a 4-gas system with built-in gas sensing technology that allows you to program precise gas concentrations and is perfect for manipulating samples in a sustainable Microaerobic environment. Available options include 15 cm letterbox, data logging, HEPA filtration, humidity control, gas pressure monitor, spare cable gland, data logging, custom-designed trolley, and removable front.

For total flexibility, up to four gases - nitrogen, carbon dioxide, air and a 103 hydrogen/903 nitrogen mix - can be combined within safe and varying ratios to provide a specific atmosphere for your experiments. The work and storage areas of the chamber are temperature controlled with an impressively low gradient threshold of ± .6°. This allows the full internal volume to be used as an incubator if desired. The M45 has the option of a standard, fixed front or the removable front. The removable front allows convenient access in the chamber and is easily removed and replaced with no extra tools or loose pieces.

Gas Pressure Monitor
Designed as a method of monitoring the gas supply. The system will indicate the status of both sides of the switchover: FULL – IN SERVICE, and DEPLETED. When a cylinder or cylinder bank is depleted, the green light will change to a red light, and the audible alarm will sound.

Humidity Control
500ml external reservoir, control relative humidity up to 85% via touch screen. Humidity is created via a boiler plate and introduced as sterile steam

Removable Front
Easily remove front panel for convenient cleaning and introduction of larger equipment/objects

15cm Letterbox
Ideal for quickly introducing small quanitites of samples and supplies

Spare Cable Gland
Used to accommodate a power or data cable without affecting the chamber conditions
