The most comprehensive range of anaerobic workstations in the world providing excellent conditions for the processing, incubation and examination of samples without exposure to atmospheric oxygen. Capacities from 200 to over 1000 x 90mm Petri dishes, three sizes of airlock, single plate entry systems, anaerobic and catalyst monitoring systems, and sophisticated, full colour touchscreen interface. Patented oval and instant access ports and versions with a unique HEPA filtration system. Options of single gas (ANO2), dual gas (ANO2 and N2) and three gas (H2, CO2 and N2) systems for economical running costs.
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 whilst retaining a generous working area. It will actually hold up to 270 plates for emergency anaerobic incubation.
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.
A side loading letterbox entry system is also available, providing a straightforward way to quickly introduce individual samples into the workstation. The A20 is fitted with a touch screen providing 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 colour 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.
The problem with jars | The solution – Whitley A20 Workstation |
Fixed capacity of 9, 10, 12 or 48 plates | Accommodates up to 240 plates |
High cost of consumables | 1 cylinder of mixed gas lasts c. 15 weeks |
Sealed system | Single plate entry system allows access for individual plates, anytime |
Need to prepare plates on the bench in aerobic conditions | Improved isolation rates with prep done in anaerobic conditions |
Condensation | Humidity controlled environment |
Finite space for samples in an emergency | 270 plates can be incubated in an emergency |
When jar is opened, conditions are lost | Plates can be checked and sub-cultured in anaerobic conditions |
Used catalyst needs to be heated before reuse | Catalyst only needs to be changed annually |
Samples may have to be left on a bench whilst enough plates are gathered to fill a jar. | Samples can be incubated immediately – thus improving results. |

Don Whitley Scientific is proud to launch one of their most compact workstations yet, the Whitley A25 Workstation. The A25 is equipped with many unique features to ensure easy and efficient use and to guarantee that the very best anaerobic conditions are maintained. It has a capacity of 300 Petri dishes while still leaving more than adequate space to process samples in a strictly controlled anaerobic environment.
This workstation is equipped with instant access ports and has a built-in, rapid airlock that can accommodate 20 x 90mm Petri dishes or 3 x 500 ml Duran bottles. The airlock allows items to be transferred into the workstation atmosphere in 20 seconds and the doors are interlocked so cannot be opened simultaneously.
A side loading letterbox entry system is also available, providing a straightforward way to quickly introduce individual samples into the workstation. The A25 is fitted with a touch screen providing the user with an intuitive interface to control and operate the workstation.
