AELAB AE-LAI-3T-N Anaerobic Incubator – Controlled Oxygen-Free Culturing

The AELAB AE-LAI-3T-N Anaerobic Incubator is a precision instrument engineered for oxygen-free microbial cultivation. It provides a stable, controlled environment ideal for growing anaerobic and oxygen-sensitive microorganisms used in clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical testing, and environmental microbiology. The AE-LAI-3T-N ensures reproducible results through accurate temperature control, automatic gas regulation, and long-term anaerobic maintenance.

⚙ Design & Construction

The AE-LAI-3T-N features a durable Stainless Steel cultivation chamber with a transparent, impact-resistant observation window. The full front cover can be easily removed for internal cleaning or equipment placement. A microprocessor-based control system precisely regulates temperature and oxygen levels, while a UV sterilizer and built-in power socket support aseptic operation. The incubator includes an ergonomic glove port system and a deoxidization catalyst to maintain the anaerobic environment effectively.

🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method

The incubator operates through automatic gas replacement using a combination of hydrogen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide gases to remove oxygen and create a stable anaerobic condition. The internal sensors continuously monitor oxygen levels, maintaining them below 1%. The unit’s microprocessor controller and imported oxygen sensor ensure accurate, real-time adjustments. Temperature uniformity (±1 °C) supports consistent microbial incubation, while the oil-bottle pressure relief system stabilizes chamber pressure during operation.

💡 Key Advantages
