Anoxomat® III User’sGuide
Foreword
Intended use
The Anoxomat uses the widely known McIntosh and Fildes system of evacuation and replacement to create anaerobic
environments. The Anoxomat® quickly creates anaerobic, microaerophilic, or capnophilic and hypoxic environments to
cultivate bacteria in jars using a reliable automated evacuation/replacement method. The Anoxomat® can create exact,
repeatable conditions with gas mixtures within 0.5% of the required value.
The Anoxomat® is designed to cultivate oxygen-sensitive organisms in anaerobic jars using a system that reliably sustains
environments for proper growth. The Anoxomat is useful to the following disciplines:
• Microbiological and bacteriological research
• Clinical microbiology laboratories
• Medical research
• Biotechnology research and manufacturing
• Pharmaceutical research and manufacturing
• Food safety microbial testing
• Environmental monitoring
• Academic research
• Industrial applications
