Rigid Anaerobic units can be manufactured from economical Polymer or sturdy Aluminum.
The Aluminum units are ideal for labs with chemical resistance needs, because of the ability to upgrade the standard polycarbonate viewing screen to the Tempered Glass, and the Glove Port Panel to an Aluminum style. Aluminum Anaerobic Chambers also have the advantage of the ability to upgrade to a gloveless style.
The Polymer units are an easy and economical way to get started with an Anaerobic Chamber. Equipped with a purge only airlock, these units are typically half the cost of other styles of Anaerobic Chambers. It is important to keep in mind that while less expensive to purchase, it may cost more to operate due to the purge only application of the airlock, but in a low volume lab this may be just the unit for you.
Anaerobic Atmosphere
- Provide a strict anaerobic atmosphere of 0-5 parts per million (ppm) using a palladium catalyst and
hydrogen gas mix of 5%.
- Air is circulated through a Fan Box which is designed to house the wire mesh container of catalyst called a Stak-Pak.
- The process of removing O2 from the atmosphere can produce moisture, so often these Stak-Paks are filled with desiccant and stacked on top of the Catalyst.
- The airlock allows sample transfer without changes to the internal atmosphere by equilibrating the O2 levels through a Vacuum and Purge Procedure (Purge only for the Polymer Units).
Patented Diaphragm Top
- All units come equipped with this feature that allows the chamber to physically adjust to the user’s hands entering and exiting the glove box.
- No waiting for expensive electronics to compensate so there is no glove fight back
Gloves
- The Sleeves are manufactured from a durable neoprene with a separate cuff that allows the attachment/replacement of an inexpensive glove within minutes.
