UV Decontamination
4.5.1
Setup and Function
The optional UV decontamination is used to kill microorganisms in
the air in the incubation chamber. The option consists of two UV de-
contamination lamps on the rear wall of the housing. These emit
high-energy UV radiation of 253.7 nm. The air, which is drawn in by
the axial fans, flows past the UV decontamination lamps. The micro-
organisms contained in the air flow are killed by the UV radiation.
