The choice of Microbiologists, Food Technologists
and Research Scientists around the world

Specialist manufacturers of Anaerobic workstations, Microaerophilic
workstations & Hypoxic Tissue culture workstations

Ruskinn’s “Bugbox” is the worlds smallest anaerobic workstation taking just 700mm of bench
space and with the capacity to incubate up to 200 Plates it is the perfect way to improve
isolation rates and is an easy to justify alternative to anaerobic jars. Bugbox is perfect
as a personal workstation.

Ruskinn recognise that most general laboratories inoculate samples with anaerobic cultures
in the bench. That’s why samples are transferred up to 12 at a timer - 15 seconds is all it takes
to transfer and guarantee the best isolation rates for your anaerobes. Add to this a single plate
entry system and you have the most convenient system for incubation of anaerobes.

With annual servicing and low gas consumption many laboratories can justify the switch
from jars to Bugbox on consumable savings alone.
