Product news

Sheldon has announced the addition of the SHEL LAB Bactrox Chamber to its Bactron line of anerobic workstations. The Bactrox is ideal for clinical microbiology, and research microbiology such as stem cell and mammalian cancer research.

The Bactrox offers precise oxygen and carbon dioxide control from 1-20%. The SHEL LAB Bactrox Chamber preserves optimal application conditions not only during incubation but also in the chamber work station. Removal of cultures from the incubator does not require exposure of cells to undesirable oxygen or carbon dioxide levels.

The unit’s advanced atmospheric controller allows for the use of a highly accurate and long-lasting zirconium dioxide oxygen sensor, with independent oxygen and carbon dioxide control and logging. The Bactrox also has a standalone 300 plate incubator so users can comfortably work without gloves in ambient room conditions.

To minimize set-up time, the Bactrox includes an extra- large vacuum-less sample pass box that takes only sixty seconds to purge. The new design provides a vacuum-less sleeve entry into the chamber. Other features of the unit include temperature control and logging, superior condensation control, and ultra bright LED examination lights inside the chamber.

Bactrox Hypoxia Chamber

SHEL LAB

This latest addition to the SHEL LAB Bactron line offers precise oxygen control ranging from 1% to 20% for microaerophilic bacteriology and hypoxic tissue or cell culture applications It has the additional capability of controlling carbon dioxide from 1% to 20%. The SHEL LAB Bactrox permits oxygen and carbon dioxide control in increments of 1/10th of a percent.nlike 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 more likely to grow faster and show less damage.Bactrox Hypoxia Chamber Benefits: Ultra Bright LED Examination Lights Stainless Steel Construction for Long Term Durability Independent Gas Controls RS232 Data Collection Condensation Control - High Humidity With Little or No Condensate Immediate Access to Chamber Via Sleeves Standard Microscope Adapter Accessories PC Calibration of Oxygen Sensor 24 Month Limited Warranty

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
