GasPak EZ Anaerobic Container System Sachets (260678)

Prior to release, representative samples of each lot of GasPak EZ Anaerobic Container System Sachets are tested for performance characteristics.
Each sample of the GasPak EZ Anaerobic Container System Sachets is activated and placed in the incubation container along with an anaerobic indicator. The container is sealed according to label directions and observed for the time required for visible condensation to form. The container is then incubated at 35 ± 2°C. After approximately 2.5 h, a 22-gauge 1.5" needle is inserted into the incubation container and a sample of the gas is removed, placed in a gas chromatograph, and analyzed for the amount of oxygen present in the incubation container. The percent of oxygen for each container is less than or equal to 1% and the mean percent for all samples tested for oxygen is less than 0.7%. After approximately 24 h incubation at 35 ± 2°C, another sample is taken from the container and analyzed for the amount of carbon dioxide. The percent of carbon dioxide is dependent upon container size but is greater than or equal to 13%. Within 9 h, the anaerobic indicators are white (reduced). The average time for visible condensation to appear inside the incubation containers is within 20 min after activation.
