H2O2 DECONTAMINATION

When the chamber has been contaminated, or when cleaning the chamber prior to starting a culture, H2O2 decontamination can be performed using the H2O2 Generator.

zThe following products must be purchased separately in order to perform H2O2 decontamination. Before performing H2O2 decontamination, check to make sure that these are correctly installed.

ξUV Lamp Expansion Kit (MCO-19UVS) (Not required for the MCO-19AIC(UV).)

ξH2O2 Decontamination Kit (MCO-HL)

ξH2O2 Generator (MCO-HP)

zThe H2O2 decontamination function decontaminates the chamber and the inner attachments. Do not place any objects other than the specified attachments in the chamber during decontamination.

zBefore performing H2O2 decontamination, clean the chamber and the inner attachments with sterilizing alcohol.

zThe chamber temperature during H2O2 decontamination reaches 45θC. Before performing H2O2

decontamination, set the upper limit temperature alarm to 50θC or higher.

zFor the H2O2 reagent, use one bottle of the H2O2 Decontamination Reagent specified by Sanyo (MCO-H202).

zAfter decontamination, dilute the residual H2O2 Decontamination Reagent in the H2O2 Generator with a large quantity of water and dispose of it, and rinse with distilled water. (Do not wash either the inside or outside of the H2O2 Generator with alcohol.)

WARNING

Use the reagent specified by Sanyo for H2O2 decontamination. Using a different H2O2 solution may

cause explosion or damage to the Incubator, or insufficient decontamination.

Do not use chemicals other than the H2O2 reagent, such as alcohol. Doing so may result in damage

to the H2O2 Generator.

WARNING

When performing H2O2 decontamination, make sure that the outer and inner doors are securely closed. During H2O2 decontamination, plug the access hole with the silicon cap that is provided. Failure to do so may be harmful to health due to leakage of H2O2 gas.

CAUTION

H2O2 decontamination can be performed only for the chamber and chamber attachments with standard specifications, and not for any other objects.
