Whitley Workstations represent a totally new approach to workstation design and provide supreme operator comfort in use.

• Two chamber sizes - both available with bolt-on airlock option
• Multi-functional porthole system used for both operator entry and sample transfer
• Automated humidity control system with no user maintenance necessary
• Low running costs
• Ergonomic design ensures user comfort

• Bare hands working
• Dual intensity lighting
• Anotox - a patented detoxification system prolonging catalyst life
• Constructed from acrylic sheet offering good visibility, insulation and corrosion resistance. The structure is annealed during manufacture to increase durability
• Most servicing can be carried out whilst the atmospheric conditions are maintained, avoiding down time in busy laboratories
• Customised support trolley available

The introduction of these workstations is a direct result of Don Whitley Scientific’s philosophy of listening and responding to the needs of its customers.

This range has brought about a new approach to anaerobic and microaerobic workstations.

A single system configuration cannot satisfy every user requirement, so Whitley Workstations is a modular and upgradeable system offering a completely unrivalled level of flexibility - customers can now specify a system which is tailored to meet their individual requirements. Every aspect of system functionality has been thoroughly considered - the size, shape, proportions, internal dimensions, control layout, viewing panel and multi-functional port system have all been designed to ensure maximum user efficiency and convenience.

The ports are opened by using a remote controlled footswitch and, after being closed by the operator, an automated mechanism clamps the port to provide a gas-tight seal. A variable atmosphere workstation (known as the Whitley VA500) is primarily for the study and isolation of microaerophilic organisms including Campylobacter spp, Helicobacter pylori and other similarly fastidious organisms. Up to four gases can be combined to provide a specific atmosphere. Nitrogen, carbon dioxide, air and a 10% hydrogen/90% nitrogen mix can be combined by the operator within safe and varying ratios. Microprocessor control maintains the selected mixture.

With still more system variations under development, it is clear to see that we are further strengthening our established lead in anaerobic and microaerobic workstation design.
