Tray with Sticky Stuff
ATTENTION
If condensate forms on the tray or on the cultivation vessels, the
adhesiveness of the Sticky Stuff is no longer guaranteed. As a re-
sult, cultivation vessels can become detached from the Sticky Stuff
and break.
Hence, consider the following when using Sticky Stuff:
–
Ensure that no condensate forms on the tray or on the culti-
vation vessels. This is especially necessary if cultivation is
started at low temperatures and the temperature then is in-
creased.
–
Let cultivation vessels that were stored in the fridge warm up
to ambient temperature first before placing them on the ad-
hesive matting.
If you are looking for a very flexible option for equipping the
tray, Sticky Stuff offers an ideal alternative.
However, you have to keep in mind that speeds are limited
when using Sticky Stuff (for more information on this, refer to
the table at the end of the chapter).
About using Sticky Stuff
Use only vessels with a broad flat base. Large Erlenmeyer flasks
(e.g. 3000 mL) adhere more strongly than smaller ones (e.g.
500 mL).
Ensure that the entire bases of the flasks are on the adhesive
matting. They must not extend beyond the edge of the tray.
Check vessels for damage prior to use and replace, if neces-
sary.
Never use damaged vessels!
Prior to putting down any vessel, ensure that its base is dry,
clean and grease-free.
