Nylon‐aluminium‐polyethylene laminated, sealable bags provided a more economical and flexible method of transportation, incubation and storage than anaerobic jars. The bags were used with a special heat sealer and ‘Anaerocult‐A’ sachets to remove oxygen. The environment inside the bags remained oxygen‐free for at least 3 years.
