1.6 Intended purpose of the device
1.6.1 Correct use
Use
The CO
2
incubator HERAcell
®
150i / 240i is a laboratory device for
preparing and cultivating cell and tissue cultures. The device allows the
simulation of the special physiological ambient conditions for these
cultures due to the exact control of:
• temperature,
• CO
2
content,
• O
2
/N
2
content,
• and increased relative humidity.
Fields of application
HERAcell
®
150i / 240i has been designed for installation and operation in
the following fields of application:
• Laboratories for cytobiological and biotechnological experiments of
safety levels L1, L2, and L3.
• Medical-microbiological laboratories in accordance with DIN 58 956.
• Laboratories in the central area of clinics and hospitals.
Gas supply system
The gases required for the incubator (CO
2
and / or O
2
/N
2
) are supplied to
the device from a separate gas supply system, either from gas cylinders or
from a central pressurized gas container.
The layout of the gas supply system must ensure that the operating
pressure of the gas supply lines can be set to a range between 0.8 bar
(min.) to 1 bar (max.) and that the pressure cannot be changed.
If the device is equipped with the optional gas monitoring system, up to
four devices can be interconnected in line, independent of the of the gas
supply system capacity.
The CO
2
incubator is suitable for continuous operation.
1.6.2 Incorrect use
Incorrect use
Do not use cell or tissue cultures in the device that are not in accordance
with the regulations of safety levels L1, L2, and L3.
Do not use tissues, substances or liquids that:
• are easily ignitible or explosive,
• release vapors that form combustible or explosive mixtures when
exposed to air,
• release poisons.
