The interlock inner door can only be opened if the interlock has been purged, indicated on
the touchscreen, and the inner door push button being illuminated. To open the interlock
inner door:
Access the workstation chamber via the Ezeeyin glove ports after putting your arm
through the Ezee-Sleeves.

Note: The interlock inner door should only be open when transferring materials from the
interlock chamber to the workstation chamber and vice versa. The interlock inner door can
be opened and closed as often as required to transfer material, providing the outer door
has not been opened.
Transferring material into the workstation chamber via the interlock
To transfer material into the workstation chamber via the interlock;
Open the interlock outer door (push button for >3 seconds)
Pull the interlock outer door down until it is horizontal.

floor tray is 5kg.

screen or by pressing the inner interlock door button. The button will activate a 0%

The fast purge icon purges the interlock down to the same Oxygen level that is
currently in the workstation main chamber. This will allow the internal working
environment to be unaffected by the introduction of new cells / samples.
