Anaerobic Jar System NAJS-102 is a laboratory device used to create oxygen-free conditions for cultivating anaerobic microorganisms. It removes oxygen using chemical, gas, or vacuum methods, enabling accurate microbial growth, testing, and analysis in clinical, pharmaceutical, food safety, and research laboratories.
1. What is NAJS-102 used for?
It is used to grow anaerobic bacteria by creating oxygen-free environments for microbiological testing and research.
2. How does an anaerobic jar work?
It removes oxygen using chemical sachets, gas packs, or vacuum systems and maintains anaerobic conditions for microbial growth.
3. What problem does it solve?
It prevents oxygen exposure, enabling accurate cultivation of oxygen-sensitive microorganisms.
4. Is it required in microbiology labs?
Not mandatory, but essential for anaerobic culture, clinical diagnostics, and food safety testing.
An anaerobic jar system is a microbiology device designed to create and maintain oxygen-free environments for cultivating anaerobic microorganisms.
It acts as a controlled incubation system that ensures:
Oxygen removal
Stable microbial growth conditions
Reproducible laboratory results
NAJS-102 is used when:
Cultivating obligate anaerobes
Performing antimicrobial susceptibility testing
Conducting food safety microbiology
Studying microbial metabolism and fermentation
It ensures accurate, contamination-free microbial analysis.
Culture plates are placed inside the jar
Oxygen is removed using:
Chemical sachets
Gas-generating kits
Vacuum-assisted systems
The jar is sealed airtight
Anaerobic conditions are maintained
Samples are incubated for controlled growth
Oxygen-free environment creation
Multi-method oxygen removal (chemical/gas/vacuum)
Incubator compatibility
Airtight sealing system
Reproducible microbial testing
Suitable for small to medium batch analysis
Use this system if:
You work with oxygen-sensitive microorganisms
You need controlled anaerobic conditions
You require repeatable lab results
You perform clinical or food microbiology testing
Avoid this system if:
Continuous anaerobic handling is required → use anaerobic chamber
Large-scale fermentation is needed → use bioreactors
Only simple storage is needed → use desiccators
Clinical microbiology labs
Pharmaceutical R&D
Food safety testing labs
Environmental microbiology labs
Academic research institutions
Anaerobic Jar vs Anaerobic Chamber vs Gas Packs
