OXOID
AnaeroGen was used in the methodology for detecting bifidobacteria in meat and meat products in an investigation into the suitability of these organisms as indicators of faecal contamination.
AnaeroGen sachet is placed in a sealed jar, and the atmospheric oxygen in the jar is rapidly absorbed with the simultaneous generation of carbon dioxide.
This novel method differs from others commonly used in that the reaction proceeds with no evolution of hydrogen, and therefore, does not require a catalyst. Furthermore, water is not required to activate the reaction. When used as directed, the AnaeroGen sachet will reduce the oxygen level in the jar to below 1% within 30 minutes.
The resulting carbon dioxide level will be between 9% and 13%.
