How to detect trace oxygen in anaerobic incubator

Anaerobic bacteria are closely related to human and animal life. With the development of medicine and biotechnology, the research on anaerobic bacteria is more and more extensive. Because of the anaerobic characteristics of anaerobic bacteria, its culture must be carried out under anaerobic conditions. Anaerobic cultivation is simple and practical, and is an important means to cultivate, test and study anaerobic bacteria in hospitals, factories, education and scientific research fields.

Anaerobic bacteria cannot grow in aerobic conditions. To cultivate anaerobic bacteria, an anaerobic environment must be created. Anaerobic incubator is a special device that can cultivate and operate bacteria in an anaerobic environment. It can cultivate anaerobic organisms and avoid the risk of death due to contact with oxygen when operating in the atmosphere.

Anaerobic incubator can provide strict anaerobic constant temperature culture conditions, with a systematic and scientific working area. It is generally composed of constant temperature culture room, anaerobic operation room, sampling room, gas path and loop control system, box frame, bottle frame, wax melt sterilizer and so on.

In the past, the oxygen content of anaerobic incubator could not be controlled automatically. To understand the oxygen concentration in the incubator, it is necessary to judge according to the color change of the indicator bar, which is generally based on estimation. The display of oxygen content cannot be seen intuitively, which brings inconvenience to the operation. To solve this problem, oxygen sensors and oxygen transfer plates are used in anaerobic incubators. Oxygen sensors and oxygen transfer plates can monitor oxygen concentration in real time, creating a more favorable environment for microbial culture.

JXCT oxygen sensor

Oxygen Electrochemical Gas Sensor is suitable for the concentration and leakage of oxygen gas in various environments and special environments. Oxygen Electrochemical Gas Sensor adopts imported electrochemical sensor and microcontroller technology. Signal is stable. It has the characteristics of fast response speed, high measurement accuracy, good stability and repeatability.

JXCT sensor feature

1. The whole machine is small in size, light in weight, waterproof, explosion-proof and shock-proof;
2. High precision, high resolution and fast response;
3. The upper and lower limits of the alarm can be set arbitrarily, with zero and target calibration functions, built-in temperature compensation, and easy maintenance;
4. Imported electrochemical sensor, with good anti-interference performance and long service life;
5. Adopt advanced microprocessor technology, fast response speed, high measurement accuracy, good stability and repeatability;

Considerations for anaerobic incubator:

(1) As far as possible to install in a small temperature change place;

(2) Before starting the machine, you should be fully familiar with and understand the instructions of supporting instruments and instruments of each component, and master the correct method of use;

(3) In case of failure, the operation room should be kept without oxygen for 12 hours. (If more than 12 hours, remove the culture for further treatment as needed);

(4) Always pay attention to whether the air path leaks, and then put the culture into the absolute anaerobic environment.
