New Atmosphere System

Microgen Bioproducts is releasing a new system for preparing defined atmospheres (anaerobic, micro-aerophilic and CO2), for the incubation and storage of bacteriological cultures, without the need for anaerobic jars and expensive catalysers, large expensive anaerobic cabinets and dedicated CO2 incubators. The MAS (Microgen Atmosphere System) creates defined atmospheres in special application bags, which can then be incubated or

stored under normal aerobic conditions.

The incubation of the application bags in standard aerobic incubators provides savings in the space required for the incubation of bulky anaerobic jars and significant savings in laboratory space when compared to dedicated anaerobic cabinets.

MAS instantaneously achieves the defined atmosphere within the application bags only consuming sufficient gas to fill the bag, whilst improving isolation rates and colony size. The savings on gas consumption and incubator space are complemented by the ease-of-use offered by the LCD programme panel, low maintenance and the extensive application list, to create a unique, costeffective

and flexible atmosphere generation.
