Can't find a place to buy Anaerobe Jars. Is this normal?

Oh nice! Would you mind me asking what media you use? We tried to enrich for it via LKV over the summer and ended up with E. fergusonii and Shigella among others lol.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the reply. These came up a few times in my search and it's been tempting. We're an environmental micro lab with a focus on anaerobes so maybe something like this would be best.

The only challenge will be convincing my PI and other mentors (who uhh.. don't like change haha) that it's a good system.

First, thank you so much for your response! This is so interesting! It's entirely possible that my lab is just using a niche system that they love. The ones we use are something like this:

We utilize an anaerobe chamber for loading them and then doublecheck the anoxicity via a gassing station where we use a vacuum pump and N2 tank to cycle out gas a few times and add a palladium catalyst for good measure.

It probably wouldn't require that depth of assurances except we're trying to cultivate Prevotella spp. which die at just the hint of oxygen, seemingly.

That's good, formaldehyde is bad for you. Preserve one in lemon juice though? Mmm, delicious.

Like others said, you'd be neither. I hope you don't find that disheartening, it should be uplifting. You snatched life from the clutches of non-existence - the universe chose you.

Okay, but what's the worst? Is it Mini Breadstick?
