6 OPERATING PROCEDURES
6.A PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Before carrying out any type of work, the following conditions should be verified:
-
that the cabinet power cable is connected to a 220-230V-50Hz outlet
-
that all alarm lights are off
-
that the work area inside the cabinet is free from materials used during the previous session.
-
that the cabinet has been sterilized in case of change in the nature of work to be carried out
6.B SWITCHING ON the CytoFAST Top cabinet
To start the cabinet, proceed as indicated below (read chapter 4C):
1.
remove the front closure panel of the work area and turn on the light by pushing the blue button (7) [turn
off the "U.V." lamp, if it is on (14)]
2.
lock the front window with the two specially designed latches
3.
press the main switch I/0 (1) and enter the password to switch on the cabinet (5 times arrow up, 4 times
arrow down; “SET”). At first the display shows “CHECK PANEL” and the corresponding control leds of
the keyboard light up. Then the message "STAND-BY" is displayed for about 40 seconds and the hour-
counter starts operating
4.
after 40 seconds of stand-by, the cabinet is ready for work. "STAND-BY" disappears from the screen
and the LAF and protection barrier velocities are displayed
5.
wait for 5 minutes before starting work [see chapter 5]
6.
during this period of time, introduce into the internal work area of the cabinet only the materials which
are indispensable for the job at hand.
All movements made under the laminar air-flow cabinet should be parallel to the work surface, taking care to
work in the middle of the table to avoid upstream contamination (for instance, when taking a sample from a
bottle, hold the bottle gently but firmly with one hand, keeping it slightly inclined, and work with the other hand,
so that the air that comes into contact with the hand does not directly contact the inside, but rather the outside
of the bottle).
6.C SWITCHING OFF the CytoFAST Top cabinet
At the end of the work session, proceed as follows:
1. remove the material from the internal work chamber *
2. clean the work surface and the inside walls of the chamber, as indicated in the "Cleaning Instructions"
section (chapter 7A)
3. allow the laminar air-flow cabinet to run for 20-30 minutes after the work is over
4.
