AELAB AE-LAI-D2 Anaerobic Workstation – Controlled Oxygen-Free Microbial Culturing

The AELAB AE-LAI-D2 Anaerobic Workstation is a fully integrated oxygen-free microbial incubation system designed for culturing anaerobic and microaerophilic organisms. It maintains precise control over temperature, CO₂, humidity, and gas composition, providing an ideal environment for clinical, pharmaceutical, and research applications that require strict anaerobic conditions. The workstation’s robust construction and intelligent automation make it suitable for continuous laboratory operation and regulated microbiological testing.

⚙ Design & Construction

The AE-LAI-D2 features a sealed Stainless Steel chamber with clear access ports and removable front cover for ergonomic handling and easy cleaning. The interior includes an automatic humidity control system, integrated UV sterilization, and a built-in power socket. The large touchscreen interface provides real-time readings of temperature, humidity, and oxygen concentration. Multiple protection systems guard against overpressure, low pressure, and temperature deviations, ensuring safe, consistent anaerobic operation.

🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method

The workstation establishes an anaerobic state through vacuum-assisted gas replacement using nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide. A high-efficiency palladium catalyst removes residual oxygen to achieve <0.1% oxygen concentration. CO₂ concentration (0–20%) and humidity (50–90% RH) are automatically regulated to prevent desiccation of cultures. The system supports both anaerobic and micro-oxygen modes (0–10% oxygen), suitable for a wide range of microbial testing conditions. The sealed chamber maintains stable oxygen-free conditions for over 13 hours without additional gas input.

💡 Key Advantages

• Integrated control of temperature, humidity, and CO₂ in one sealed workstation
• Adjustable oxygen level (0–10%) for anaerobic and microaerophilic applications
• Automatic gas replacement and real-time oxygen monitoring via touchscreen
• High-efficiency palladium catalyst minimizes maintenance frequency
• Oil bottle-style pressure relief prevents air leakage and ensures chamber stability
• UV sterilization and internal power outlet for aseptic operations
• Ergonomic glove ports and optional bare-hand operation system

🔗 Connectivity & Integration

The AE-LAI-D2 integrates automated gas path control with programmable oxygen, CO₂, and humidity settings. The touchscreen interface allows operators to configure atmospheric profiles for specific microbial protocols. Optional data export via USB supports traceable documentation for GLP-compliant laboratories.
