Maintaining the workstation

End user maintenance
To ensure that your Bugbox Ax workstation remains at optimum working conditions, it must be
maintained on a regular basis. Many basic tasks can be performed by the end user.
Replacing the detox and catalyst sachets
A detox and a catalyst sachet are supplied with the Bugbox Ax workstation. The detox sachet
adsorbs volatile organic compounds, improving the air quality within the workstation chamber.
The catalyst sachet contains the catalyst required for the hydrogen to react with any oxygen in the
workstation, to produce an anoxic environment. The detox sachet and the catalyst sachet need to
be replaced annually. See section 7.4.2 for ordering details. It is recommended to replace both
sachets at the same time.
Note
: Both sachets are replaced as part of an annual service.
To replace the detox sachet and the catalyst sachet;
•
Remove any samples to an alternative storage facility.
•
Switch off Bugbox Ax and disconnect from the mains power supply.
•
Remove the Ezee Sleeves
•
Undo the glove port covers and place in the stowage brackets.
•
