The Bionova® MiniBio incubator contains an internal tem-
perature control. If the temperature falls outside of the spe-
cified range (37±2) ºC or (60±2) ºC, the blue temperature
led light will start to twinkle.
Temperature can be externally monitored by using a Bio-
nova® TB-IC1020 thermometer or other similar. The Au-
to-Reader MiniBio has a special hole for placing the ther-
mometer which is located at the right side of the device.
Temperature monitoring
Clean the outer surface of the Bionova® MiniBio incubator
with a damp cloth moistened with a small amount of de-
tergent. Do not clean interior components. If additional
cleaning of the internal components of the equipment is
required, contact your distributor or manufacturer.
