1: What types of petri dishes are compatible with the Anaerobic Jar System NAJS-201?
The Anaerobic Jar System NAJS-201 can accommodate a stack of up to 12 petri dishes, each with a diameter ranging between 90 and 100 mm, using the included petri dish holder.
2: Can I monitor the culture process without opening the Anaerobic Jar System NAJS-201?
Yes, the Anaerobic Jar System NAJS-201 is made from transparent PMMA material, allowing easy visual inspection of the culture plates without compromising the internal environment.
3: What type and number of culture dishes can be used with the Anaerobic Jar System NAJS-201?
The Anaerobic Jar System NAJS-201 accommodates one stack of 12 standard petri dishes, each with a diameter of 90 to 100 mm, using the included petri dish holder.
4: How can I extend the lifespan of the Anaerobic Jar System NAJS-201?
To maintain the Anaerobic Jar System NAJS-201, clean it regularly with non-abrasive solutions, store it in a dry area, avoid scratching the transparent PMMA surface, and inspect the O-ring seal before each use.
5: Can the Anaerobic Jar System NAJS-201 be used repeatedly for multiple experiments?
Yes, the Anaerobic Jar System NAJS-201 is designed for repeated use and offers consistent anaerobic performance when properly cleaned and maintained between experiments.
6: How does the transparent construction of the Anaerobic Jar System improve usability?
The transparent PMMA body and lid enable clear visual monitoring of cultures throughout the incubation period without requiring the jar to be opened. This feature is especially useful for observing microbial growth while maintaining the anaerobic environment. It helps minimize disruptions, reduces the chance of contamination, and ensures reliable culture results.
7: What should I do if the Anaerobic Jar System fails to create or maintain anaerobic conditions?
Check that the lid is securely clamped and the O-ring is intact and properly positioned. Inspect for any leaks or damage to the jar and lid. Also, ensure the gas generation pack is appropriate for the jar size, correctly activated, and not expired. Proper maintenance and correct assembly are essential for optimal performance.
8: How does the electrostatic-coated lid enhance the durability and performance of the Anaerobic Jar System?
The electrostatic-coated lid provides strong resistance to corrosion and surface wear, enhancing its durability. This ensures the lid remains reliable and maintains a secure seal even after repeated use and cleaning in laboratory conditions.
9: Can the Anaerobic Jar System be used in both clinical laboratories and research institutes?
Yes, the Anaerobic Jar System is commonly used in clinical and microbiological laboratories, as well as research facilities, where precise control of oxygen-free conditions is essential. It provides a reliable and consistent environment for cultivating anaerobic and oxygen-sensitive microorganisms, making it a valuable tool for both routine diagnostics and scientific investigations.
