A20 Viagra
The Whitley A20 Workstation is one of our smallest anaerobic workstations. It provides excellent conditions for the processing, incubation and examination of samples without exposure to atmospheric oxygen and is incredibly gas efficient. It can accommodate 240 x 90mm Petri dishes while retaining a generous working area. It will hold up to 400 plates if the user requires additional space for anaerobic incubation.
The A20 has a 240 x 90mm Petri dishes while retaining a generous working area. If the user requires additional incubation space the system will accommodate up to 400 plates.
The A20 is the perfect first step-up from using anaerobic jars to using a workstation. It has the same precise control of parameters as our larger workstations, ensuring the very best anaerobic conditions are maintained. You can check your plates as often as you like and perform tasks inside the workstation without risk to your samples.
This workstation is equipped with two oval, multi-functional glove ports that act as mini airlocks, each capable of transferring 10 x 90mm Petri dishes as a user inserts their arms.
The A20 is fitted with a color, touch-screen control panel for ease of use and for visual display of parameters such as temperature and humidity. The touch screen provides the user with an intuitive interface for easy control and operation of the workstation.
This workstation is the up-to-date replacement for the DG250 Workstation, which has been extremely popular with customers for many years. This new model provides modern features such as the full color touchscreen, remote access, data download (for traceability) and the opportunity to have Anaerobic and Catalyst Conditions Monitoring.
This workstation can be used for both anaerobic and microaerobic applications simply by changing the gas supplies.
Very compact footprint – takes up very little bench space but has the same precise control of parameters as our larger workstations A color, touch-screen control panel for ease of use Low gas consumption – the A20 runs from two gasses (anaerobic mixed gas and nitrogen) for economic running costs Ideal for use as a personal workstation that can be moved if required (a bespoke trolley is available) Ethernet-enabled for remote access to touch screen Includes an automatic commissioning cycle to save you time and resources A20: ~240 plate capacity with ample work space Plates can be checked and sub-cultured in an aerobic condition Catalyst only needs to be changed annually Gas requirements: 1 x ANO2 = 10% H2, 10% CO2, 80% N2 -OR- 1 x ANO2 and Nitrogen Samples can be incubated immediately – thus improving results Single plate entry system allows access for individual plates, anytime
Anaerobic Conditions
Monitoring System This factory-fitted option monitors and displays real time oxygen levels within the workstation. Depending on the percentage of oxygen present, the chamber/airlock symbol on the touch screen will read green, yellow or red. The electronic Anaerobic Conditions Monitoring System is complete with oxygen sensor and a special software package. The oxygen sensor is located inside the chamber for accurate, real-time readings. The sensor is easily and quickly calibrated via the touch screen.
Gas Pressure Monitor Designed as a method of monitoring the gas supply. The system will indicate the status of both sides of the switchover: FULL – IN SERVICE, and DEPLETED. When a cylinder or cylinder bank is depleted, the green light will change to a red light, and the audible alarm will sound.

Trolley Custom-designed trolley frees up bench space and allows the chamber to be moved Internal Storage Trays Maximum 2 per unit; positioned under the shelf 10 Plate Dish Rack Easily stack and move 10 petri dishes. Prevents spills with a rigid design –> Temperature Mapping The process comprises calibration of the workstation temperature sensor and a comprehensive temperature profile of the entire working and incubation area. Data is collected from up to 12 sensors, traceable to national standards, positioned throughout the workstation chamber. –> Single Point
Temperature
Calibration Confirms, through measurements taken from a single position within the workstation incubation area, using a calibrated temperature probe traceable to national standards, that the workstation temperature is controlled and displayed within specified tolerances. –> Catalyst Monitoring
System A factory-fitted option for Whitley Anaerobic Workstations. It is set to conduct the test overnight so that when you arrive at the lab in the morning, a pop-up box on the touchscreen informs you of the status of the catalyst. This option can be used either on its own or in conjunction with the Whitley Anaerobic Conditions Monitor, which provides continuous monitoring of the level of oxygen present in the workstation.
