ibidi Gas Incubation System – Silver Line
The length of intervals between refillings depends on set points of the humidity and flow on the Gas
Mixer.
CAUTION
– Always close the filling port tightly to prevent gas leakage and malfunction
of the system!
WARNING
– Never disassemble the column while it is plugged into the Gas Mixer or
when still hot after it has been in use. The heating element in the column can cause serious burns.

Switching on the System
After connecting all cables and tubing, and after filling the Humidifying Column with ultra-pure
water, the system is ready to start.
1. Set your gas regulation valve to the recommended pressure of 1 bar (14.5 psi).
2. Switch on the Gas Mixer and wait for ”self test” (all systems) and ”heat up” (only CO
2
/O
2
versions).
3. Set the parameters on the display (Section
4. Check that the display shows ”Run” (see Section
5. Let the system equilibrate all parameters for a minimum of 30 minutes.
NOTE
– Immediately after powering up, the Gas Mixer runs a flow sensor calibration
routine for several seconds. The display shows ”self test”.
After this, the Gas Mixer for CO
2
/O
2
will automatically start a warm-up routine for 5 minutes.
The display shows a blinking ”heat up”. After 5 minutes, the device will begin normal operation.
The CO
2
version is ready for operation immediately after the ”self test”.
For most applications, we recommend using the values given in Table
. The full specification range
is indicated in the specifications (Section
CAUTION
– Be aware that when the system is switched on, some parts of the tubing are
actively heated: The Humidifying Column base (max. 55°C/131°F), the water in the Humidifying
Column (max. 60°C/140°F) and the Heated Tubing Package (max. 50°C/122°F outside).
