Don Whitley Scientific's Jar Gassing System is now available with a colour touch screen interface and optional printer for traceability, auditing and accreditation purposes. Creating incubation conditions at a fraction of the cost and time required by gas generating envelopes, the system rapidly generates precise anaerobic or microaerobic gas mixtures to optimise culture conditions.

The Whitley Jar Gassing System takes less than two minutes and about 18 pence to create an anaerobic environment, and just 15 seconds and less than three pence to achieve microaerobic conditions. The speed and cost efficiency of the new system is underlined by comparison with gas generation kits that require between 30 minutes and 3 hours to create similar conditions for a cost of about £1.60 per jar.
