OxyBlue™ Anaerobic Indicator is a color based indicator used for confirming the presence of oxygen within a sealed OxyPlate™ and/or container.
The formulation of OxyBlue™ contains a methylene blue solution, which provides a visible confirmation of anaerobiosis inside a sealed Oxyplate™ and/or container. When applied to the inside of an OxyPlate™ lid or container, the OxyBlue™ will change from a dark to medium blue coloration, to a light blue or white coloration once the sealed environment has reached anaerobiosis.
OxyBlue™ is a useful aid to good microbiological procedures when working with anaerobic microorganisms.
OxyBlue™ is reusable several times within the same plate or container after being applied. On average, one ampule will dot 10 plates.
Oxyrase® Inc. guarantees 3 months of shelf life from shipment date under recommended storage and use conditions. If a longer shelf life is needed, this should be arranged at the time the order is placed (OxyBlueTM is shipped direct to customer.).
