Microaerophilic Workstation
The world's smallest microaerophilic workstation packs all of the innovative features into a compact bench print. Incorporating all of the familiar and proven features of the Bugbox, but tailored to interface with the Ruskinn Gas Mixing System.
The Gas Mixer Q System provides accurate control over O2 (0.1% - 20.9% in 0.1% increments) and CO2 (0% - 30% in 0.1% increments).
Like the Bugbox, taking just 800mm of bench space with a capacity to incubate up to 200 plates, the Bugbox M is the perfect way to improve isolation rates and is an easy to justify alternative to anaerobic jars providing a more stable environment.
Ruskinn recognise that most general laboratories inoculate samples with cultures on the bench. That's why samples are transferred, at up to 10 at a time in the colour coded petri tubes - 15 seconds is all it takes to transfer and guarantee the best isolation rates for your Microaerophilic organisms.
Add to this a range of optional accessories and you have the most convenient system for incubation of microaerophilics available.
The Bugbox M is very affordable and maintenance costs are the lowest in the product class.
