PRECAUTIONS FOR CULTURES

zLeave space between culture containers.

Always leave space for ventilation between culture containers (Petri dishes, flasks, etc.). Inadequate spacing may result in uneven temperature distribution and CO2 gas concentration.

zDo not place harmful materials in the chamber.

Never place samples that release acidic, alkali, or corrosive gas in the chamber. Doing so may cause damage resulting from discoloration or corrosion.

zClose the inner door.

Always close the inner door before closing the outer door. Failure to close the inner door will adversely affect performance even if the outer door is closed.

zOpen and close the doors gently.

Always open and close the doors gently. Closing the doors forcefully may cause spillage of the culture medium, incomplete closing, or damage to the gasket. Before opening the inner door, check through the glass to confirm that the UV lamp is OFF (if the MCO-19AIC(UV) or the optional MCO-19UVS is installed).

zBe careful when closing the outer door.

Use the handle when closing the outer door. Holding the door in other places may cause injury by getting fingers caught in the door. Do not lean on the outer door. Doing so may result in injury from the outer door coming loose or the Incubator falling over, or it may cause current leakage or electric shock.

zBe careful of the inside of the outer door.

The inside of the outer door may become hot.

zAvoid using excessive force on the inner door.

Do not put your hand on the glass, poke it with sharp objects, or apply strong force. Doing so may result in injury from breaking the glass.

zCheck the cause of any alarm buzzer.

If an alarm buzzer sounds while the Incubator is in use, immediately check the cause of the alarm. For details on what may cause an alarm buzzer to sound, refer to page 46.
