AMPLES
The manufacturer strongly recommends waiting at least
8 hours
after putting the incubator in
operation before loading samples. This safeguards against temperature instability.
•
Verify that sample containers are properly secured with shaker clamps or racks.
•
Samples should be placed at least 1 inch (25 mm) away from the chamber walls.
o
Proper spacing allows for maximum air circulation and a higher degree of
temperature uniformity.
o
Proper spacing also decreases the chance of condensate forming in the incubator
when operating with a large number of samples in the chamber.
