Microcabine

The Scholzen Microcabine consists of an absolutely sealed working chamber with a viewing window made of 12 mm safety glass and 1 or 3 locks (types «MC-1G» or «MC-3G»).

The decisive advantage of the system lies in the evacuatable working chambers and locks. They are controlled individually and completely independently of each other. This means that the anaerobic conditions can be created very quickly and flexibly.

Furthermore, a constant anaerobic atmosphere is ensured in the working chamber thanks to a gentle, active circulation of the incubation mixture of 2-3 cycles per hour.

The gas mixture is passed through a specially developed catalyst with a water separator and sight glass display. In this dried internal atmosphere, the working window always remains clear and free of condensation. Furthermore, the angled arrangement of the field of vision with the window enables fatigue-free working.

When the automatic system is started, anaerobic conditions are created in the working chamber, including filling with the incubation mixture. The samples are then introduced into the locks together with the culture media. The lock is now also automatically anaerobicized and filled with incubation mixture. By opening the connecting door to the working chamber, the samples can now be processed as desired using the two airtight gloves.

For subsequent incubation, a free airlock can be used directly or the preparations can be discharged anaerobically via the microcarrier and introduced into a chamber of the microincubator.
