FULL-GAS microbox O118/140+OD118 XL STER

FULL-GAS microbox O118/140+OD118 XL STER

Product description

THE FULL-GAS MICROBOX

The most complete range of tissue culture vessels with the revolutionary breathing system for carefree micropropagation!

 

Description

The Microbox is a clear polypropylene box, equipped with a hermetically closing polypropylene cover.

The cover is made of crystal-clear plastic, and provided with a filter battery. Each filter battery consists of a double row of filter wicks, i.e. micro-channels filled with hydrophobic filtering material.

 

The advantages of the Eco2 microbox

 

Adjustable gas exchange: this occurs by means of depth filtration through the numerous filter wicks. The length of these filter wicks can be adapted to the needs of the plant species being grown, thus avoiding vitrification.

No danger of infection: the wicks are made of resilient filter material, which forms a perfect barrier against pests and contamination. The Microbox makes aseptic growing spaces unnecessary.

Transparency: the transparency of the plastic film,in combination with the narrow filter strips, enables optimal visual quality control.

Temperature resistance: both container and filter retain their properties between -5°C and +135°C (23°F and 275°F), and can be autoclaved several times.

Recyclable: 100%, vessel and filter are both made of polypropylene. If not gamma irradiated,microboxes are autoclavable.

OUR  FILTERS :

 

L (large)  WHITE
XL (extra large) YELLOW
XXL (extra extra large) RED
XXL+ (with extra gas exchange)  GREEN leaves very much air through the filter, which could possibly cause dehydration.

 

Gas exchange through depth filters

The principle of our filters is depth filtration, in contrast with membranes, that are surface filters. We only speak of pore size with respect to surface filters.

• with surface filtration, the pore size is of importance because the micro-organisms migrate directly through the membrane;
• with depth filtration, the micro-organisms are retained by the tangled fibres in the same way as cotton plugs do.

Depth filters also limit dehydration as to the length of each of the filter plugs. The gas exchange capacity of our filters depends on a number of factors that are linked to the filter:

• the nature of the filter material
• the length and width of the filter plugs

The real gas exchange throughout the filters also depends on external conditions such as:

• quantity and type of medium
• incubation temperature
• ventilation in the rooms
• amount and size of plants per container
• temperature fluctuation due to lighting, etc.

Eco2 is also offering a complete range of insect breeding vessels with an integrated gauze in the lid
