Frequently Asked Questions
1 What is an Anaerobic Jar?
An Anaerobic Jar is an apparatus designed to create an oxygen-free environment for growing anaerobic bacteria.
2 How does Anaerobic Jar work?
It creates an oxygen-free environment by using a chemical packet that absorbs oxygen.
3 What types of organisms are grown in Anaerobic Jar?
It is used to grow anaerobic bacteria such as Clostridium spp., Bacteroides spp. and Fusobacterium spp.
4 Can Anaerobic Jar be used for both liquid and solid cultures?
It can be used for both liquid and solid cultures.
5 What is the difference between an Anaerobic Jar and an Anaerobic Chamber?
An Anaerobic Jar is a small, portable device that creates anaerobic conditions in a sealed container, whereas an Anaerobic Chamber consists of large controlled environment for handling cultures without exposure to oxygen.
6 Can Anaerobic Jar be used to grow facultative anaerobes?
It is used to grow facultative anaerobes, as they can survive both in presence and absence of oxygen.
7 Can Anaerobic Jar be used to culture both pathogenic and non-pathogenic bacteria?
It can culture both pathogenic and non-pathogenic anaerobic bacteria.
8 Can Anaerobic Jar be used in a clinical setting?
It is commonly used in clinical microbiology to isolate and grow anaerobic bacteria from samples like blood, tissue and body fluids.
9 Can Anaerobic Jar be used to study biofilms?
It is used to culture anaerobic bacteria that form biofilms.
10 Can Anaerobic Jar be used in research applications?
It is commonly used in research for studying physiology, biochemistry and genetics of anaerobic microorganisms.
Selection Guide for Anaerobic Jar
Selecting the right Anaerobic Jar is essential for customers working with anaerobic microorganisms under strictly oxygen-free laboratory conditions. Customers should consider key factors such as jar volume, construction material, sealing mechanism, and the method used to generate the anaerobic atmosphere. Available volume options typically range from 0.5 to over 10 liters, depending on sample load and laboratory workflow. Materials such as glass, polycarbonate, or stainless steel provide various benefits, including visibility, durability, and compatibility with autoclaving. For laboratories operating under GLP or GMP standards, it is important to choose validated anaerobic jars that ensure traceability and consistent performance. While advanced models with digital gas sensors support regulatory compliance and accurate monitoring, basic jars rely on chemical indicators to confirm anaerobiosis.
Understanding Anaerobic Jar: Purpose, Process, and Benefits
Anaerobic jar is a sealed container used to create an oxygen-free environment for incubating bacterial cultures. It typically consists of a robust jar with a tight-fitting lid, a gas-generating sachet or system, and an indicator strip that confirms anaerobic conditions have been achieved. When activated, the gas pack reacts to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide, which creates a reduced oxygen environment suitable for the growth of anaerobic organisms.
Our Jar ensure an airtight environment by tightly sealed lid and are easy to set up, require minimal maintenance. It is equipped with essential features that ensure consistent performance and adaptability in various laboratory settings and they are;

Anaerobic Jar is widely used across various scientific and industrial fields where the cultivation or identification of anaerobic microorganisms is essential. In clinical microbiology, they are instrumental in hospitals and diagnostic laboratories for culturing anaerobic pathogens such as Clostridium, Bacteroides, and Peptostreptococcus, playing a key role in diagnosing conditions like abscesses, gangrene, and periodontal diseases. In the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, Anaerobic Jar facilitate the testing and formulation of antibiotics or probiotics that target anaerobic organisms and support the development of microbiome-based therapies. Veterinary and agricultural researchers utilize Jar to study rumen microbiota, soil microbes, and diseases caused by anaerobes in animals and crops. In educational laboratories, they serve as effective teaching tools for demonstrating microbial growth under oxygen-free conditions, enhancing students' understanding of microbial physiology and diversity. The food and beverage industry also relies on Anaerobic Jar for fermentation studies and to detect spoilage organisms in vacuum-packed or canned food products, ensuring quality and safety in food processing.
