Oxyrase, Inc. manufactures and distributes a patented biocatalyst that selectively and specifically removes oxygen by reducing it to water. Oxyrase is a biocatalytic oxygen-reducing agent that removes dissolved oxygen from aqueous, gaseous, and semisolid environments. The enzyme is used by the food and water treatment industries to cultivate anaerobic microorganisms. The Oxyrase Enzyme System provides a novel approach to making media for isolating and growing anaerobes. Oxyrase is formulated to be used in broth or agar media. The company makes pre-poured plates for use in clinical microbiology. Oxyrase is used in the manufacturing process to make PRAS (Pre-Reduced Anaerobically Sterilized) plates affordable. The OxyPlate is a self-generating anaerobic plate, made in the special OxyDish, that eliminates the need for bags, jars, and chambers. The OxyPRAS plate is made in a standard petri dish and requires incubation in an anaerobic environment as provided by bags, jars, and chambers.
