IncuBox from Don Whitley Scientific is a rectangular, transparent and stackable anaerobic ‘jar’ which can be used to create the perfect environmental conditions for the isolation and cultivation of anaerobic and microaerobic organisms, and for cell culture applications.
The box is suitable for use with the Whitley Jar Gassing System (evacuation/replacement method) or as a stand-alone system to use with gas generation sachets.
Because of the shape of the vessel, and with no protruding connectors or valves beyond the outer surface of the lid, IncuBoxes can be stacked on top of each other inside an incubator or on the bench, saving valuable space. The main jar (without the lid in place and with no samples inside) can be nested with other empty jars so that work in progress takes up minimal space.
IncuBox (registered design application), will accommodate either 12-14 x 90mm Petri dishes or 5 x standard multi-well plates. The four latches used to open and close the box are attached to the lid so there are no loose parts to misplace.
The design of the box includes a safety valve which ensures an appropriate level of vacuum is achieved without damaging the box. It is durable and lightweight and can be used to create multiple atmospheres.
