Key Benefits
The self-contained sachet design eliminates the need for compressed gas systems, reducing setup complexity and operating costs. Consistent CO2 generation supports reproducible culture conditions and dependable microbiological results. The simple activation process saves time and minimizes handling errors, while the compact format supports efficient use in incubator jars and pouches. Single-use sachets help maintain clean workflows and reduce cross-contamination risk.
Compatibility and Applications
These GasPak EZ sachets are compatible with standard anaerobic or CO2 incubation jars and pouches designed for sachet-based systems. They are commonly used in clinical microbiology, research laboratories, and educational settings. Typical applications include culturing capnophilic organisms and supporting diagnostic workflows that require elevated CO2 levels.
Usage Guidelines
Place the GasPak EZ CO2 sachet into the appropriate incubation container along with the inoculated culture plates. Seal the container according to manufacturer and laboratory protocol. The sachet activates automatically without water or additional reagents, generating CO2 to establish the desired atmosphere. Incubate for the required duration based on organism and test protocol. Dispose of the used sachet after a single use.
