Anaerobic chamber

An anaerobic chamber is a sealed laboratory device that maintains an oxygen-free environment for growing and studying microorganisms that cannot survive in the presence of air. It enables safe handling and incubation of anaerobic specimens through glove ports built into its flexible, transparent walls, allowing manipulation without exposing the internal atmosphere to oxygen.

Devices in this category are regulated as laboratory equipment intended for in vitro diagnostic use or research support, and their classification depends on the specific intended use and jurisdiction. They are typically supplied as standalone units or integrated systems designed to maintain strict anaerobic conditions during microbiological procedures.
