4.1 Definition of use
The K-SYSTEMS Kivex Biotec G95 Portable incubator is designed for transporting gametes and embryos
which require protection form fluctuations in temperature, pH levels and light.
The warming blocks should be pre warmed to the desired temperature and allowed to stabilise before
placing inside the G95 transport incubator.
The incubator is designed to maintain a stable temperature environment for the transportation of pre
warmed warming blocks.
The temperature indication on the display is that of the maintaining temperature. If cool blocks are
placed within the incubator, sufficient time is required for the temperature to stabilise.
When the unit is not in use it is recommended that it is left on charge.
4.2 General description
The compartment and aluminium warming blocks maintain a preset temperature in the range of
35° to 45° C. The temperature is electronically controlled and can be read on the display in increaments
of 0.1°C resolution. An alarm system provides both visual and audible alarm, if the temperature should
be out of range or in case of low battery (when the mains adapter is not connected).
There are two options of supplying the portable incubator with electric power. Either the incubator can
be connected to the wallsocket using the 24 V external power supply or the incubator can be connected
to a 12 V car cigarette lighter socket.
A built-in battery maintains the temperature for 4,5 to 5,5 hours depending on ambient temperature.
The battery is automatically charged when the incubator is connected to the 24 volt adapter. When the
portable incubator is connected to the car cigarette lighter socket the battery is not charged as the car
generator cannot charge beyond 13,8 volt.
The atmosphere is controlled by flushing with a gas mixture. The gas valve is automatically closed when
the quick connector is disconnected. Interchangeable aluminium warming blocks, holding a variety of
culture dishes and test tubes, are available. The blocks are held in position during transport by a
removable POM block.
