Cleaning before use
Before conducting cell culture in this mini incubator, It is recommended to clean up entire chamber and shelves and
water container by using soft cloth with at least 70% Ethanol mixed of 30% distilled water.
Installation Procedure:
4.1 Place the incubator at the desired location.
Always avoid placing the incubator in:
- An area near equipment generating heat or cold air
- Direct sunlight
- An uneven surface or table.
- A place with heavy vibration
- A place with little air ventilation space behind the incubator.
