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 Mixing System provides accurate control over O2 (0.1% - 20% in 0.1% increments), CO2 indication (0% - 12% in 1% increments) and H2 (0% - 10% in 1% increments) components of the mix with integral oxygen sensor and calibration port.

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.
