Proprietary Oxyrase Enzyme System® for oxygen scavenging, enabling anaerobic environments for culture, preservation, and industrial applications.

Oxyrase competes with large microbiology consumables suppliers (e.g., BD, bioMérieux, Thermo Fisher) that offer anaerobic media and systems, as well as manufacturers of anaerobic chambers and gas generation equipment.
