Anaerobic Workstations

Whitley A25 Workstation

The Don Whitley Scientific A25 Workstation might be small but it has the same precise control of parameters as our larger workstations, ensuring the very best anaerobic conditions are maintained. It has a capacity of 300 Petri dishes while still leaving more than adequate space to process samples in a strictly controlled anaerobic environment. Unlike with anaerobic jars, you can check your plates regularly and perform tasks inside the workstation without risk to your samples.

This workstation is equipped with instant access ports (but can be specified with oval, sleeved ports if required) and has a built-in, rapid airlock that can accommodate 20 x 90mm Petri dishes or 3 x 500 ml Duran bottles. The airlock allows items to be transferred into the workstation atmosphere in 20 seconds and the doors are interlocked so cannot be opened simultaneously.

The A25 is fitted with a full colour touchscreen providing the user with an intuitive interface to control and operate the workstation, as well as to display parameters. A single plate entry system (letterbox)is available to provide a straightforward way to quickly introduce individual Petri dishes into the workstation. Other options include cable glands, internal power socket, remote access, data logging(for traceability) and the opportunity to have Anaerobic and Catalyst Conditions Monitoring. The A25 can also be used for microaerobic applications simply by changing the gas supplies.

Whitley A35 Workstation

The Don Whitley Scientific A35 Workstation provides excellent conditions for the processing, incubation and examination of samples without exposure to atmospheric oxygen. This anaerobic cabinet provides the ability to manipulate samples in a sustainable environment where parameters can be altered to create the required conditions. The colour touchscreen panel displays the parameters such as temperature, humidity and airlock cycle status but also provides easy access to control the workstation. A built-in, rapid airlock ensures samples can be transferred into the workstation atmosphere as soon as possible.

The standard A35 Workstation features two oval, sleeved ports on a fixed front. This workstation can also be specified with our unique instant access porthole system that allows entry to the chamber in seconds and needs neither gloves nor sleeves.

Additional options include HEPA filtration, removable front, automatic sleeve gassing, integrated anaerobic conditions and catalyst monitoring system, and data download facility. The optional HEPA model is fitted with the unique Whitley Internal HEPA Filtration System. All the atmosphere passes through the filter hundreds of times an hour, which ensures the chamber environment is cleaned quickly, providing levels of atmospheric cleanliness inside the workstation that exceed the requirements of ISO 14644 Class 3.

Applications for this workstation include clinical microbiology, dental and research into the human gut microbiome.

With the Whitley A35, sample manipulation within a secure anaerobic environment is as easy as working aerobically at the laboratory bench.

Whitley A45 Workstation

The Don Whitley Scientific A45 Workstation, like our other anaerobic workstations, enables the processing, incubation and examination of samples without exposure to atmospheric oxygen. This workstation has three ports for convenient user access to the entire incubation and working areas.

The A45 Workstation accommodates up to 780 x 90mm Petri dishes whilst still providing a generous working area. The A45 is available as an A45 HEPA, fitted with the unique Whitley Internal HEPA Filtration System. All the atmosphere passes through the filter hundreds of times an hour, which ensures the chamber environment is cleaned quickly. Additional options include an integrated anaerobic conditions and catalyst monitoring system with data download facility.

Sample manipulation within a secure anaerobic environment is now as easy as working aerobically at the laboratory bench.

Whitley A55 Workstation

The Don Whitley Scientific A55 Workstation provides a huge working capacity when there is a need to easily process, culture and examine samples without exposure to atmospheric oxygen. This workstation has two airlocks (one on the left and one on the right) and provides the ability to manipulate samples in a sustainable environment where parameters can be altered to create the required conditions.

With the A55 Workstation you have a choice of port configurations; for example you can have four instant access portholes that allow entry to the chamber in seconds without the need for gloves or sleeves or you can have one set of these ports and one set of sleeved ports.

With two sets of ports, two people can easily work side-by-side in this chamber, in the same environmental conditions. This is ideal for training situations or for labs with a high throughput.

The HEPA filtered version of the A55 is fitted with the unique Whitley Internal HEPA Filtration System. All the atmosphere passes through the filter hundreds of times an hour, which ensures the chamber environment is cleaned quickly, providing levels of atmospheric cleanliness inside the workstation that exceed the requirements of ISO 14644 Class 3..

ALSO available with a fully integrated anaerobic conditions and catalyst monitoring system with data download facility.

Options include:

• Five different sleeveless/sleeved port configurations.
• Single plate entry system
• Data logging capability
• Internal electrical sockets

If you want to be able to operate your workstation with two different temperature levels, specify the dual temperature option. This provides a central divider between the workstation chambers allowing you to select different temperatures for each side. A manually operated sliding door between the two chambers allows samples to be passed from one area into the other.

Sample manipulation within a secure anaerobic environment is now as easy as working aerobically at the laboratory bench.
