Supplied with the Article
Ensure that the incubator is supplied with the following accessories:
- Build-in gas guard to monitor CO2 that automatically switch from one cylinder to the other, when the supply is exhausted (Ref. 190640)
- Roller base (advisable, Ref. 190647)
- Replacement HEPA filters (Ref. 760175)
To be Ordered Separately
The incubator must be ordered with automatic CO2 cylinder switchover system (MCO-21GC).
CO2 incubators require two gas bottles, a manometer and, if not provided by the supplier, a switchover system to change the gas supply from one bottle to the other.
Optional accessories:
- UV lamp system kit (MCO-18UVS)
- Roller base (MCO-18RB)
Instructions for use
Precautions for Use
Secure all biomedical electrical devices in the laboratory. Contact your biomedical referent to define the best option.
Failing that, use a UPS double conversion for the electrical protection of the apparatus (see related articles below).
If the laboratory is not provided with air-conditioning system, avoid placing the incubator in proximity of an open window, to avoid contamination in the chamber.
MSF requirements
To incubate at 37°C in 5% CO2 environment inoculated Middlebrook 7H11 media plates for Thin Layer Agar Technique, to allow mycobacterial growth.
