The Bactron IV system permits volume handling of anaerobic cultures with maximum operator comfort. With a 17 cu.ft. workspace and a 600 plate capacity incubator, it is the largest, most complete anaerobic environmental system available. It is designed for high volume, yet requires far less bench space than expected for its capacity and performance features.

Bactron systems have airtight construction of stainless steel and rigid Plexiglas for unobstructed vision and integrity. The patented cuffs form a comfortable seal around the operators arms permitting bare hand manipulation of plates and specimens inside the working chamber, making work more comfortable and efficient.

Chamber atmosphere circulates through a condensate controller then through a catalyst, which removes any trace amounts of oxygen. High relative humidity is maintained while condensate moisture is removed without the unnecessary dessicants, which can dehydrate media and samples. Each unit contains an integral vacuum pump to provide rapid evacuation of air from the air lock module for replacement by an inert gas mixture.

Installation is included with purchase. In addition, every purchase of a Bactron system in the USA includes an operator training workshop in anaerobic bacteriology and use of the system.

The following items are included as standard equipment with every SHEL LAB Bactron System:

• Vacuum Pump
• Interior Electrical Outlet
• Sleeve Assembly with Medium Cuff
• Training Workshop (USA only)

A gas supply must be purchased separately. The stand shown in the picture is sold separately.

220V units are available as well. Please contact Sheldon Manufacturing, Inc. for information about purchasing a 220V Bactron IV-2.
