Pre-Reduced, Anaerobically Sterilized (PRAS) OxyPRAS Plus® plated media, Oxyrase®

About this item

Not only do anaerobic microorganisms require the environment to be oxygen free, but a reduced environment is physiologically necessary for anaerobes to produce energy for growth

The Oxyrase® Enzyme System used in OxyPRAS Plus® plates provides a reduced medium before sterilization and maintains the medium in a reduce state for storage and during use. The Oxyrase® Enzyme System prevents the formation of undesirable oxidation products in these PRAS plates. Growth of anaerobes on OxyPRAS Plus® plates require anaerobic incubation in jars, bags, or chambers.
