Anaerobic Gas Generating Sachet, 2.5 L, IC-4010
Product Introduction
This product is a ready-to-use anaerobic gas generating sachet designed for the generation of an anaerobic atmosphere in standard 2.5 L anaerobic jars or containers. Upon exposure to air, the sachet rapidly absorbs oxygen and simultaneously generates carbon dioxide through an irreversible chemical reaction, creating an oxygen-depleted, carbon dioxide-enriched environment suitable for the cultivation, isolation, and identification of obligate and facultative anaerobic microorganisms. The self-contained sachet requires no additional equipment, catalysts, or water addition, simplifying anaerobic culture workflows. Each sachet is individually packaged in a gas-impermeable foil pouch to ensure reliable performance and long-term storage stability, and is compatible with commonly used anaerobic jars and containers from major manufacturers.
Product Features
1. Rapid Anaerobic Atmosphere Generation: Creates anaerobic conditions (¡Ü0.1% O₂) within 2-3 hours at room temperature, with concurrent CO₂ generation to a concentration of approximately 5-10%.
2. Convenient Self-Contained Design: Requires no catalyst, water, or external equipment; simply open the foil pouch, place the sachet in the anaerobic container, and seal immediately.
3. Reliable and Consistent Performance: Each sachet is individually packaged in a gas-impermeable foil pouch, preserving chemical reactivity and ensuring consistent atmosphere generation throughout the shelf life.
4. Compatible with Standard 2.5 L Jars: Optimized for use in 2.5 L anaerobic jars or containers widely used in clinical and research microbiology laboratories.
5. Visual Indicator Available: When used together with an anaerobic indicator strip (sold separately), the anaerobic status can be confirmed visually.
Specifications
Size: 10 sachets per pack
Application: For 2.5 L anaerobic jars or containers
Working Volume: 2.5 L
Oxygen Reduction: ¡Ü0.1% O₂ within 2-3 hours
CO₂ Generation: Approximately 5-10%
Storage and Stability
Storage Conditions: Store unopened foil pouches at room temperature (15-25¡ãC) in a dry environment. Protect from direct sunlight and moisture.
Shelf Life: The product is stable for 24 months from the date of manufacture when stored as directed in the original unopened packaging.
Protocol (For Reference Only)
Important: Minimize the time the sachet is exposed to ambient air before sealing the container. Do not open the individual foil pouch until immediately before use.
1. Preparation: Prepare culture plates, broths, or other microbiological specimens and place them inside the 2.5 L anaerobic jar or container. If using an anaerobic indicator strip, place it in a visible position within the jar.
2. Sachet Activation: Open the outer package and remove one anaerobic gas generating sachet. Open the individual foil pouch just before use and immediately place the sachet into the designated holder or directly inside the anaerobic container.
3. Container Sealing: Seal the anaerobic jar or container within 30 seconds of opening the sachet pouch to minimize oxygen exposure and ensure efficient atmosphere generation.
4. Incubation: Place the sealed container in an incubator at the desired temperature (usually 35-37¡ãC for clinical specimens) for the required incubation period. Anaerobic conditions are typically achieved within 2-3 hours.
5. Confirmation: If an anaerobic indicator strip is used, check the indicator color change to confirm anaerobic conditions have been established. Consult the indicator manufacturer''''s instructions for interpretation.
Precautions
1. Do not open the individual foil pouch until immediately before use; prolonged exposure to ambient air will prematurely activate and exhaust the sachet.
2. Seal the anaerobic container promptly within 30 seconds of placing the sachet inside to ensure optimal oxygen removal.
3. Use one sachet per 2.5 L container; do not use multiple sachets unless the container volume exceeds 2.5 L proportionally.
4. The sachet becomes warm during activation due to the exothermic chemical reaction; this is normal and does not affect performance.
5. For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
FAQ (Simplified)
Q1: How long does it take for anaerobic conditions to be established?
A1: Anaerobic conditions (¡Ü0.1% O₂) are typically achieved within 2-3 hours at room temperature. Using an anaerobic indicator strip is recommended to confirm anaerobic status.
Q2: Can I use the sachet in containers larger than 2.5 L?
A2: No. This sachet is optimized for 2.5 L containers. For larger volumes, use multiple sachets proportionally or select a larger capacity product.
Q3: What happens if I accidentally open the foil pouch but don''''t use the sachet immediately?
A3: Once the foil pouch is opened, the sachet begins to react with ambient oxygen and will be depleted. Do not attempt to reseal or store opened sachets; use immediately.
Q4: Does this sachet require a palladium catalyst?
A4: No. The sachet chemically absorbs oxygen without the need for a catalyst, water, or any additional reagents, unlike traditional anaerobic jar systems that require catalyst cartridges.
