Science - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
English term or phrase: candle jar
It appears in a list of material used for lab tests, with no further context. I think it is a jar shaped as a flame from a candle, but I don't know if there's a specific term in Spanish, thanks!

jarra con vela o frasco con vela


Explanation:
This device allows the growth of microaerophillic bacteria, by producing a carbon dioxide atmosphere. It involves, in fact, a candle, which consumes the oxygen and releases the necessary CO2. "Jara con vela" or "Frasco con vela" are both acceptable translations. I've used this device a few times in the past.

Example sentence(s):
  • Para el L. acidophillus el cultivo se hizo en microaerofilia (sistema jarra con vela) a 37 grados C, y se controló a los 4 días.
  • Este último se incubó en frasco con vela a 42 °C por 48 h.
