Anaerobic Workstations

Whitley A55 Workstation

The Whitley A55 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 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.

Whitley A85 Workstation

The Whitley A85 is used when there is a need to easily process, incubate and examine samples without exposure to atmospheric oxygen. This anaerobic workstation has a large, 36 litre airlock and accommodates up to 560 x 90mm plates.  Oval glove ports enable you to work comfortably, gloved or bare handed. Each gloveport also acts as a mini-airlock so you can transfer up to 10 plates through each as you insert or withdraw your arms.

The colour, touch-screen control panel ensures ease of use and is perfect for visual display of parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airlock cycle status.

The A85 Workstation can be purchased with the Whitley Internal HEPA Filtration System or can include a refrigeration unit should you want to manipulate samples and incubate cultures at low temperatures. This workstation can also be purchased as a three gas (TG) version, which runs from separate cylinders of nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. So if you need to reduce costs to a minimum ask about the A85TG Workstation.

Whitley A95 Workstation

The Whitley A95 has a huge capacity of between 960 and 1120 x 90mm Petri dishes, depending upon the way you choose to configure your working and incubation areas. Incorporating the latest in touch screen technology, some features and benefits of the A95 are unique to DWS.

The large, integral 36 litre airlock with automatic internal door (no awkward locking mechanism) is 20% faster than the previous MG1000 model. The cycle takes only 5 minutes, which ensures a considerable saving in gas usage. Four manual, oval glove ports enable two people to operate within the same controlled atmosphere simultaneously. This is ideal for tutoring or for very busy laboratories.

The A95 Workstation can be purchased as a three gas (TG) version, which runs from separate cylinders of nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. So if you need to reduce costs to a minimum ask about the A95TG. The A95 can also be purchased with the Whitley Internal HEPA Filtration System.

Other options include internal power sockets, microscope attachment and single plate entry systems – to tailor the system to your specific requirements.

Whitley A135 HEPA Workstation

The Whitley A135 HEPA is a tall, wide, anaerobic workstation fitted with the unique internal HEPA filtration system. Like our other anaerobic chambers, it provides excellent conditions for the processing, incubation and examination of samples without exposure to atmospheric oxygen. With an internal volume of 950 litres, this workstation can accommodate a variety of laboratory equipment, eg cell sorters, colony pickers, high throughput bio-reactors, microscopes and spiral platers such as the Whitley WASP Touch.

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. DWS filters are located inside the workstation, which prevents the filter becoming saturated with moisture and rendered ineffective.

The internal atmosphere is circulated continuously – contributing to even temperature distribution and ensuring any internal particulates will be in motion before capture by the filter. Levels of atmospheric cleanliness inside the workstation exceed the requirements of ISO 14644 Class 3. Proof of atmospheric cleanliness can be provided on request.

As well as providing ideal conditions for anaerobic studies, this workstation operates from two gas supplies for the most cost-effective running conditions.
