BACTRON chambers are total anaerobic process workstations. Samples can be prepared, cultured, and inspected in the oxygen-free chamber and standard incubator. Unlike anaerobic jars and bags, which unavoidably expose samples to oxygen, BACTRON units provide complete anaerobic environments for all your applications.

• Ergonomic arm ports provide a comfortable work space
• Integraded vacuum pump for quieter operation
• 60% faster airlock cycle with 3,4 or 5 auto cycle iterations
• Auto-sleeve cycle with integrated HEPA filter, 40% faster sleeve cycle
• Low gas supply audible and visual alarm
• Single button auto-commissioning

An economical anaerobic environment system with air lock, a 16 cu.ft. workspace and a 600 plate capacity incubator allows the BACTRON600 to deliver optimum productivity in a compact space. The operator has total command of the work area, yet enjoys ample bench space for efficient performance of all procedures requiring an anaerobic atmosphere. Bactron systems have airtight construction of stainless steel and rigid Plexiglas, for unobstructed vision and integrity. The patented cuffs form a comfortable seal around the operator's arms permitting bare hand manipulation of plates and specimens inside the working chamber, making work more comfortable and efficient.

Chamber atmosphere circulates through a condensate controller then through a catalyst, which removes any trace amounts of oxygen. High relative humidity is maintained while condensate moisture is removed without the unnecessary desiccants, which can dehydrate media and samples. Each unit contains an integral vacuum pump to provide rapid evacuation of air from the air local module for replacement by an inert gas mixture. The Shel Lab Bactron chambers have full third party verified safety compliance certificates. Manufacturer meets EN61010, UL61010 and Can/CSA61010 standards.

BACTRON chambers allow efficient and dexterous, glove-free handling and inspection of samples. Advanced, ergonomic arm port design ensures comfort and minimizes user fatigue during extended working sessions in the chamber.

With four model sizes available, users can choose a BACTRON unit that best fits their capacity and workspace needs. The quality and reliability for BACTRON units offer cost savings and eco-friendly solutions over the disposable-type sample handling. Research and clinical laboratories that are handling even small volumes of anaerobic samples may save substan-tial amounts of time and money by using permanent workstations rather than disposable pouches and jars. With anaerobic chambers, productivity is further improved by an up to 50% reduction in sample turnaround time.

BACTRON chambers are constructed with heavy-duty, stainless steel components to ensure chamber integrity and rigid acrylic glass front walls offer an unobstructed view of the interior workspace. The stainless steel airlock slide and workstation floor can withstand significant wear and tear while maintaining an aesthetically pleasing, clean finish.
