UNSPSC 41103407: Anaerobic chamber

In this classification, a Anaerobic chamber connotes a device used as atmosphere control units designed to be used when working with oxygen sensitive materials, product containment needs, and/or general isolation control. US FDA regulates Anaerobic chamber under 21 CFR 866.2120 and under FDA product code JTM.

UNSPSC 41103407 Anaerobic chamber is a Commodity code that encompasses laboratory incubation and containment equipment for controlled-environment microbiology and cell culture work. State and local governments procure anaerobic chambers, CO2 incubators, and related specialized laboratory apparatus through this code to support public health, research, and diagnostic operations. The State of California and similar health departments, university systems, and public research facilities use the code to acquire equipment that maintains precise atmospheric conditions for bacterial culture, pathogen isolation, and sensitive biological testing. Solicitations under this code typically feature brand-name-only or tightly specified procurement because laboratory equipment performance is critical to research validity and regulatory compliance; substitutions are rarely permitted. Issuing bodies include state health and research departments, public universities, and county public health laboratories.

The State of California's May 2026 RFB 26200994-1 illustrates current activity: a request for one Thermo Scientific Model 3950 Reach-In Large Capacity CO2 Incubator with bids due June 11, 2026. The solicitation required Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) certification and HIPAA Business Associate Agreement compliance, reflecting the sensitive health and research context in which this equipment operates. The single identified recent opportunity provides limited geographic and issuing-body detail, suggesting the code sees sporadic but specialized activity concentrated in states with substantial public research and diagnostic laboratory infrastructure.
