TRIPS
Place at least 5 anaerobic monitoring strip packets in the chamber. Do not open the
packets at this time! Packets should only be opened in an anaerobic atmosphere. At
least one of these strips will be used when establishing the chamber anaerobic
atmosphere, and up to five may be required.

PACERS
BACTRON300 and BACTRON900
Install the three (3) metal spacers included with the BACTRON300 and 900 in the
workspace chamber incubator. These spacers ensure even heat distribution and
uniformity.
.
Set the spacers on the bottom shelf of the workspace chamber incubator,
side by side, with th
e “SPACER” label facing out.
An empty plate or dish placed at the bottom of each sample stack can
provide additional shielding for heat sensitive anaerobes, or if the incubator is
being run at high temperatures.

REPARE THE
I
NCUBATORS
Open all incubator doors to create a 0.5 inch (1cm) gap.
The incubator doors must be placed slightly ajar prior to purging the
workspace chamber and establishing an anaerobic atmosphere in the
BACTRON. Failure to do so will leave reservoirs of oxygenated
laboratory atmosphere in the incubators.
At the same, the incubator doors should only be slightly open to allow the
incubators to come up to temperature. Running the BACTRON for an
extended period with the incubator doors open widely interferes with the
analytic feedback loops that optimize heating in the incubators. This can
result in temperature overshoots during the first 24-hours of operation
after the incubator doors are closed.
