The Whitley variable atmosphere workstations are used primarily in the study and isolation of microaerophilic organisms such as Campylobacter spp and Helicobacter pylori and other similar organisms.
Up to 4 gases - nitrogen, carbon dioxide, air and a 10% hydrogen/nitrogen mix - can be combined within safe and varying ratios to provide a specific atmosphere. A microprocessor controls and maintains the selected mixture.
They have all the standard features of the other Whitley Workstations and can be bought in any variation, ie as a VA500 or a VA1000, with or without an airlock.
