OPERATION FOR MINIMIZING CONTAMINATION
1.
Keep the outside of the incubator, including the air in the laboratory, as
clean as possible. This is particularly important for units placed directly on
the floor. Do not place incubators near doors, air vents or other areas of
high air movement or traffic.
2.
The floor around the unit needs to be clean. Units that are place on the
floor should be mounted higher – typically on a caster platform – for ease of
moving the unit during cleaning and access to the back of the unit.
3.
Minimize the number of times access is made to the chamber during normal
operation.
4.
Do not depend on the use of antibiotics to maintain uncontaminated
conditions, as this is an inadequate technique for sterilization. Preferably
use aseptic techniques as described above for maintaining sterile
conditions in the incubator.
