Anaerobic Chamber

Anaerobic chambers, also called anaerobic incubators or anaerobic workstations are specialized pieces of laboratory equipment used in experiments that require the handling of oxygen-sensitive materials. Anaerobic chambers are designed to grow cultures of microorganisms, and anaerobic bacteria in a techno-controlled atmosphere. These microorganisms produce infections and toxins in an oxygen-free atmosphere. Anaerobic chambers can be found in hospital laboratories and analytical and microbiological laboratories used to grow oxygen-sensitive bacterial strains. Anaerobic chambers are typically used in a variety of scientific fields, including clinical microbiology, microbiome studies, susceptibility assays, fermentation and spoilage studies, food microbiology, bio-energy research, environmental microbiology and anaerobic bacteriology.
