Yamato AC-716 Anaerobic Chamber, 76" Four-Glove, Manual Purge, 220–240 V

The Yamato AC-716 is a 76-inch, four-glove anaerobic chamber for up to two operators, configured for 220–240 V / 50 Hz mains. It is the same large manual-purge chamber as the AC-706, wired for international line voltage: 40.9 cu ft / 1157 L of shared oxygen-free workspace, a six-canister molecular-sieve drying train, and a dedicated transfer chamber that moves samples in and out without breaking the atmosphere. It ships as a complete system for high-throughput anaerobic microbiology, biochemistry, and O2-sensitive materials work.

Key Specifications

Application Profile

The Yamato AC-716 delivers two-operator anaerobic capacity on 220–240 V / 50 Hz service for labs outside 120 V regions. Its 1157 L work space — more than double the single-operator chambers — and four glove ports let two researchers work side by side in one shared oxygen-free atmosphere. A six-canister polycarbonate drying train provides the moisture- and oxygen-scrubbing capacity the larger volume requires, and two vacuum diaphragm pumps drive the drying train and transfer-chamber purge independently so the main atmosphere is undisturbed as samples pass through.

Built for sustained shared use, the chamber pairs optically clear top and bottom sections with "Easy Clean" corners for full visibility and simple decontamination, and 40,000-hour "Bright Light" illumination for long sessions. Operators control each purge manually through four ground key-cock valves and an adjustable transfer-chamber vacuum gauge, and swap the drying train through self-sealing quick disconnects without breaking containment. It fits core facilities and high-throughput labs running microbiology, biochemistry, plasma-environment, animal-science, and electronic sub-assembly work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What voltage does the AC-716 use? 220–240 V at 50 Hz, drawing 5 A. The AC-706 is the same four-glove chamber configured for 115–120 V / 60 Hz.

Is the AC-716 the same chamber as the AC-706? Yes — identical four-glove, two-operator, manual-purge chamber and dimensions; the difference is the 220–240 V line voltage.

How many operators and gloves does it support? Up to two operators, with four glove ports and two pairs of white ambidextrous hypalon gloves.

How large is the work space? Inside dimensions are 60 × 38 × 31 in (1520 × 960 × 790 mm) — a 40.9 cu ft / 1157 L working volume.

What does the drying train contain? Six polycarbonate canisters filled with molecular sieve, which absorbs moisture and can be rejuvenated in an oven.

Is purging manual or automatic? Manual — operators run the purge with the four ground key-cock valves and the adjustable vacuum gauge.

Ordering & Configuration

The AC-716 is quote-based capital equipment. Add it to your quote and our team will confirm current pricing, glove and gas options, and lead time. It ships crated as a complete system (~685 lbs); plan delivery access for the large chamber and an inert-gas supply at install.

Warranty: Per Yamato standard terms. Safety: Never use in a flammable or explosive gas atmosphere, and never introduce explosive or flammable materials.

Positioning: The Yamato AC-716 is the 220–240 V four-glove, two-operator anaerobic chamber — choose it for 50 Hz international service and shared high-throughput work. Pick the AC-706 for 115 V, or the smaller AC-505/515 (manual) or AC-505A/515A (automatic) chambers for single-operator use.
