A Comprehensive Investigation on Catalytic Behavior of Anaerobic Jar Gassing Systems and Design of an Enhanced Cultivation System.

The rapid and reliable diagnosis of anaerobic bacteria constitutes one of the key procedures in clinical microbiology. Automatic jar gassing systems are commonly used laboratory instruments for this purpose. The most critical factors affecting the cultivation performance of these systems are the level of residual oxygen remaining in the anaerobic jar and the reaction rate determined by the Pd/AlO catalyst.
