Optional functions
3.1 Barcode scanner
The Anoxomat documents the full culturing process.
Instead of using the keyboard to type the information
into the registration input screen, you can also use a
barcode scanner. This is especially useful in case
samples/Petri dishes have individual barcodes
attached to them. To activate the barcode scanner
purchased from Advanced Instruments, a code is
generated that can be then entered to the Anoxomat
software. Note that the preferred sample ID entry
method on the instrument is by barcode scanner to
reduce transcription errors.
3.2 Registration input screen
The Anoxomat offers an optional Registration Input
screen which allows you to identify your laboratory, limit
the use of the Anoxomat, and determine which user
processed which samples with the Anoxomat.

3.3 Pre-programmed recipes
Pre-programmed recipe for oxygen level, gas mixture
and evacuation level
Rather than accept the standard microaerophilic recipe
with a resulting oxygen level of 6%, you may wish to
incubate using a different recipe (i.e., Helicobacter
species with 5% oxygen). Oxygen levels can be set
between 0% and approximately 18%.
If you purchased secondary gas supplies for your
Anoxomat, these gas supplies need to be programmed
according to your specifications. Oxygen levels can be
demanded between 0% and 18%. CO2 and/or H2 levels
can be chosen within certain limitations, depending upon
the required O2 level and the installed gas mixtures.
Maximum evacuation level in the standard program is a
default setting:
• anaerobic recipe: 205 mbar
• microaerophilic recipe: 294 mbar
If this level of vacuum may be harmful to cell culture or
the agar, recipes can be programmed with the following
maximum evacuation levels: 400, 500 or 600 mbar.
