PLAS 855-AC

The 855-AC (Anaerobic Chamber) has been designed for manually controlling your atmosphere when working with Oxygen sensitive materials. It is perfect for working in situations requiring low levels of Oxygen during critical isolation of the operator or your research materials. Any inert gas may be used.

Includes:

• Catalyst Heater unit
• Two Palladium (Pd) cansiters
• Hypalon gloves, 2 pairs of white ambidextrous
• Gas valves
• 11 x 12in Transfer Chamber
• "Bright Light" System (40,000 hour lamp guarantee)
• Hospital Grade electrical outlets
• Set-Up Video
• Standard 24 month warranty (not gloves or consumables.)
• Two (2) Catalyst Heaters and four (4) Palladium canisters.
• No installation. Comes ready to use. 
• Over 50 years of anaerobic chamber manufacturing.
• All controls are illuminated.
• Completely sealed design requires lower gas consumptions, lower operating costs. 
•  Formed one-piece clear plastic top section with “Easy Clean” corners. Total Visibility of Interior.
•  Matched Die-Molded white thermoset bottom with “EasyClean” corners.
• Two vacuum diaphragm pumps, one each for the drying train and the transfer chamber (purging).
• Drying train includes three (3) clear plastic canisters filled with Molecular Sieve.
• Adjustable vacuum gauge on transfer chamber.
• Four (4) ground key-cock valves for purging.

Its main advantage is minimizing the risk of Oxygen entry into the main working chamber. If trace amounts of Oxygen happen to enter the main chamber, the Catalyst Heater reduces it to water vapor. The drying train can then be activated to remove any excess water vapor.

Contains all the features of our single operator unit, but it has more capacity. It is ideal for two or more operators working together up to a maximum of four (4) people. Two people each side. NOTE: The maximum working pressure is 6in of WC..

This glove box has a capacity of 348 culture plates when using our suspended shelf accessory. Please refer to the Accessories Section (800-SHELF-1).

The Basic Chemical Reaction.

The internal atmosphere is drawn off the floor of the glove box and is pushed up through the heating elements and the warm Palladium (Pd) pellets. The Hydrogen in the special gas mixture then reacts with trace amounts of Oxygen to create water vapor. The excess water vapor is then absorbed by the Molecular Sieve™ in the three drying train canisters. The canisters are re-chargeable.
