ANAEROBIC INCUBATOR

Anaerobic incubators provide a non-oxygen environment to cultivate and handle anaerobic microbe. They usually form a part of the chambers or workstations that are used in laboratories specializing in anaerobic culture work.
Features:
• Airtight Seal: Anaerobic incubators have a secure and airtight seal to prevent the entry of oxygen from the external environment. This seal ensures that the chamber maintains an anaerobic atmosphere during operation.
• Gas Inlet and Outlet Ports: Anaerobic incubators have gas inlet and outlet ports to connect the gas supply, allowing the introduction of anaerobic gas mixtures (usually nitrogen and carbon dioxide) and the venting of gases during operation.
• Gas Flow Control: These incubators feature controls to adjust the flow rate of the anaerobic gas mixture. Proper gas flow control is essential for creating and maintaining the desired oxygen-free environment.
Gas Mixing System: Some anaerobic incubators have built-in systems that automatically mix the nitrogen and carbon dioxide gases to achieve the desired gas composition within the chamber.
• Temperature Control: Anaerobic incubators allow precise temperature control to maintain the optimal growth conditions for anaerobic microorganisms. They typically have a digital control panel to set and monitor the temperature.
Humidity Control: Some models of anaerobic incubators offer humidity control to ensure the appropriate moisture level for cultures that require specific humidity conditions.
• Anaerobic Indicators: Many anaerobic incubators come with built-in anaerobic indicators, such as methylene blue strips or anaerobic indicator solutions. These indicators change colour in the presence of oxygen, providing a visual confirmation of the anaerobic environment
• Safety Features: Anaerobic incubators are equipped with safety features to protect both the user and the cultures. These may include alarms for gas leaks, temperature deviations, and overpressure conditions.
• Interior Shelving or Racks: The interior of the incubator usually contains shelving or racks to hold the culture vessels, such as Petri dishes, culture tubes, or plates.
• Observation Window: Some anaerobic incubators have an observation window or a clear panel that allows researchers to view the cultures without opening the chamber and disrupting the anaerobic environment.
User-Friendly Interface: The control panel of the incubator is designed to be user-friendly, with easy-to-understand settings and displays for temperature, gas flow, and other parameters.
Data Logging and 
• Connectivity: Advanced models may have data logging capabilities, allowing researchers to record and analyze environmental conditions and incubation parameters. Additionally, some incubators may offer connectivity options to interface with a computer or a central monitoring system
