Sac02 Microbox Container 565 ml

Spore Guy is the only known distributor for the Microbox Sac02 container in North America. These re-usable culture boxes can be sterilized over and over for repeated  use.

Microbox advantages

Microbox filters are based on a depth-filtration principle as opposed to surface filters. Each filter uses randomly arranged fibers (HEPA principle) to effectively trap fungi spores, mites, trips and other contaminants. Depth filters limit dehydration. The gas exchange is controlled by the length of the filter plugs, longer filter plugs mean less gas exchange thus less dehydration. 

When using hermetically closed containers without filters, gas exchange of CO₂ and O₂ is poor, concentrations of gasses like ethylene are far from optimal and hyperhydricity can occur. The gas exchange of the Microbox was found to be similar to the gas exchange of ‘air leaking’ containers without filtration system, but the filtered Microbox has the bonus of added contamination protection.

 Eco-responsible. Reusable. Sensible.
Our untreated (non-gamma irradiated) Microboxes can be reused multiple times depending on size and form. In general, smaller containers can be reused more often than larger ones, round ones more than square ones. Exceptions are the TP3000 and TP5000, which are not reusable. The single use gamma-sterilized containers can not be autoclaved and can therefore only be used once. Each Microbox is 100% recyclable. Lid and container are both ecologically and economically smart.
