AIR FILTER TUBE

The TWC BioSearch/Bellco Air Filter Tube utilizes cotton fibers as the filtering agent. Cotton fibers, however, do not provide a sterile filtering environment. The filter tube can be used on the Bellco Control System for gas exchange and will not clog if the cotton becomes compressed. The air filter tube is also used as a means to slow down the flow of any gas being introduced into a vessel, which allows a more even gas entry.

•Made from Borosilicate glass

•Accepts rubber or silicone tubing with 6.4mm I.D.

HUNGATE TYPE ANAEROBIC CULTURE TUBE

The Hungate Anaerobic Culture Tube was developed for growing and maintaining anaerobic bacteria and culture conditions. The technique is simple:

1.Exclude oxygen by flushing the tube with the desired gas

2.Place 4.5ml of pre-reduced anaerobic agar medium into tube

3.Seal the tube with the butyl rubber stopper and screw cap

4.Autoclave the tube

5.Inoculate with a syringe

6.Prepare on roll tube spinner

7.Incubate in water bath
 
 

2047-Hungate Culture Tube

•Gas tight tube designed for obtaining and maintaining anaerobic culture conditions

•The method described by Hungate et.al, utilizes syringe methods for anaerobiosis

•Anaerobic culture tubes contain three autoclavable parts; a screw cap with a 9mm opening, a flange type non toxic butyl rubber stopper that is gas impermeable, and a disposable screw cap culture tube
