BD GasPak™ EZ Container Systems, BD Diagnostics

Rapid gas generating sachets produce optimal bacterial growth in anaerobic, microaerophilic (reduced oxygen), or CO₂ enriched environments.

Pouch systems include 20 resealable pouches and 20 rapid gas-generating sachets. The Anaerobe Pouch System also includes 20 dry anaerobic indicators. Sachets do not require water or a catalyst to produce optimal bacterial growth in anaerobic, microaerophilic (reduced oxygen), or CO₂ enriched environments. Pouches are one-step resealable; no sealing bars needed. Multi-layer plastic pouch material preserves environmental integrity for maximum performance. Pouches can accommodate up to four Petri dishes.

Sachets do not require water or a catalyst. Two incubation container sizes are available: standard and large. These containers are nonbreakable and chemical-resistant for maximum safety. Easy-close latches assure a secure, airtight seal. Containers are designed to hold either petri dish racks or standard test tube racks for greater convenience. Standard container and rack holds 15 to 18 petri dishes and the large container and rack holds 30 to 33 petri dishes.

 : When using the anaerobic system, an anaerobic indicator must be used. Dry indicator strips change from blue to colorless in the absence of oxygen and may be stored at room temperature prior to use.
