Workspace Components
The incubator workspace is designed to prevent the formation of condensates and unwanted
contamination by means of a HEPA-filter mounted directly into the workspace. The HEPA-filter in
the workspace protects the water used for humidifying the aire, ensures near clean room conditions
(clean room Class ISO 5) while at the same time having no negative impact on the stored cultures.
Interior container
The workspace of the incubator is designed to rule out any contamination that may prove detrimental
to incubation operation. Condensate prevention and the use of a HEPA filtration system - built
directly into the workspace, yet without compromising the surface area available for incubating
cultures - protect the water supply used for humidifying and provides for a Class 5 clean room ISO air
quality.
Interior container materials
The standard version is equipped with an interior container made of stainless steel or copper.
Depending on the material of the interior container, workspace components such as the air duct and
shelving is also made of the same stainless steel or copper material.
The airbox for the HEPA-filter is made of thermally resistant plastics material and must remain
installed while the Steri-Run decontamination routine is running.
The shelving system components, the airbox, the air duct and the cover of the water reservoir can be
removed without any need for tools, leaving only the easily treated, surface-reduced interior container
for cleaning and manual disinfection of the unit.
Glass door and optional gas-tight screen
The standard version of the
S
TERI-CYCLE
i160
and
S
TERI-CYCLE
i250
units is equipped with a
single-locked door made of tempered safety glass.
WARNING
The HEPA-filter cartridge is only resistant to temperatures up to 60°C, not
autoclavable and must be removed prior to starting Steri-Run decontamination.
Note
Oxidation of copper components:
When exposed to heat and humid air, the copper material of the interior container will oxidize.
This results in a discoloration of the copper components during the test run for checking the device
functions.
Do not remove the oxide layer during routine cleaning as the antimicrobial effect of the copper
material is based on it.
