Note on second-hand chambers (Ex-Demo-Units): Second-hand chambers are chambers that were used for a short time for tests or exhibitions. They are thoroughly tested before resale. BINDER ensures that the chamber is technically sound and will work flawlessly. Second-hand chambers are marked with a sticker on the chamber door. Please remove the sticker before commissioning the chamber.
The chambers can be stacked on top of each other (two chambers maximum). For safe stacking that is easy to maintain, use the original BINDER stacking stand (chap. 15.8.1) or the stacking adapter (chap. 15.8.2).

Before introducing any cells, check the correct ambient temperature. 15.7 BINDER Gas Supply Service – External bottle changer for CO or O (option) The external bottle changer permits automatic switching to a second gas cylinder as soon as the first cylinder is empty.
We recommend not stacking CB incubators directly on top of one another in order to avoid transmission of shocks and vibrations from one chamber to the other. This could happen e.g. while opening or closing the door, cleaning, loading and unloading the chamber. BINDER offers a stacking adapter for direct thermal decoupled stacking of two chamber.
NaHCO buffered media. These test systems are not suitable for calibrating the BINDER sensor system. Recommended procedure: • Incubate an empty sample with medium for 1/2 day under the same conditions as the cells. You can perform the incubation in a cell culture cylinder or in a 50 ml Falcon tube with open lid.
All the necessary equipment must be supplied by one manufacturer only and in a defined test system. Note: These test systems are not very accurate. A typical accuracy is around 10 % of the full-scale value. These test systems are not suitable for calibrating the BINDER sensor system. Figure 26: Example of chemical indicator...
16.1.3 Measuring CO directly with an electronic infrared measuring device Another possible way of measuring the CO concentration is by electronic sensor systems. Portable measuring devices are suitable for measuring temperature and CO concentration and can be used both for reference measurements in certified laboratories, and for service purposes. 16.2 Temperature reference measurement When performing a temperature reference measurement using an electronic measuring, and temperature display device, it is important to use a device traceable to an acknowledged standards/calibration...
• Reduce the number of personnel and their movements in the lab by careful positioning all relevant equipment. For practical reasons, install the chamber close to the laminar air flow bench. • Regular microbiological monitoring of the cell culture laboratory. 17.3 Working and behavior in the lab Sources of contamination are often the laboratory personnel themselves (surface germs, oral flora droplet transfer) and handling the equipment and cultures.
Condensation in the inner chamber represents a particular risk of contamination. The Permadry™ system developed by BINDER is an effective and easy way to ensure high humidity (≥95 % r.h.) inside the chamber without any condensation forming on the inner surfaces.

• Regularly use the hot air sterilization function (chap. 18.3) following cleaning. The shelves and the emptied water pan can remain inside the chamber during this operation. • Have replaced the CO sterile filter (gas fine filter) once or twice a year. What to do in case of contamination? •...
We recommend using the neutral cleaning agent Art. No. 1002-0016 for thorough cleaning. Any corrosive damage that may arise following use of other cleaning agents is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH. Any corrosive damage caused by a lack of cleaning, is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH. CAUTION Danger of corrosion.

∅ Do NOT spray cleaning detergents directly on the CO sensor. Wipe the sensor with a lint-free cloth soaked with cleaning agent. Use only the detergents or disinfectants recommended by BINDER. Other products are not approved, since they could in particular damage the sensor.
∅ Do NOT spray the disinfectant directly on the CO sensor. Wipe the sensor with a lint-free cloth soaked with the disinfectant. Use only the detergents or disinfectants recommended by BINDER. Other products are not approved, since they could in particular damage the sensor.
Recommended precautions: To protect the eyes use sealed protective goggles. CAUTION Eye contact. Eye damage due to chemical burns. ∅ Do NOT empty into drains. Wear protective goggles. Following frequent use of the disinfectant spray and prior to hot-air sterilization, remove any agent remainder by using the neutral cleaning agent and then a moistened towel to avoid formation of permanent residues.
Note: in the case when two chambers are directly stacked on top of each other without using the original BINDER stacking stand or the BINDER stacking adapter, the exact maintenance of the incubation set parameters in one of the chambers while carrying out sterilization in the other one cannot be assured.

If a hot-air sterilization is already running and you try to start it again, the message „Hot air sterilization running“ is displayed. Confirm the message with “OK”. Opening the outer door during sterilization leads to aborting the automatic sterilization cycle. CAUTION Interruption of the temperature reaction time.
Aborting the sterilization cycle means cancelling it before the entire 10-hour duration is completed. Whether effective sterilization has occurred depends on the time that has elapsed bevor abortion. • Aborting sterilization after less than 4 hours: Prevents effective sterilization. This symbol on the controller display indicates that the hot-air sterilization was aborted. The interior may still be hot.

18.3.5 Terminating successful sterilization during the cooling-down phase (abortion after more than 4 hours) The duration of the entire sterilization is approx. 10 hours. If you want to shorten the sterilization procedure in order to save time, you can abort it during the cooling-down phase, i.e. no sooner than after 4 hours.
To abort the sterilization cycle proceed as described in chap. 18.3.3. The symbol then disappears from the controller display. The inner chamber and parts inside can still be hot. Do not touch. The defined cooling down phase lasts 6 hours until reaching 37 °C / 98.6°F and is followed by a holding phase at 37 °C / 98.6°F of unlimited duration If you prefer accelerating the cooling- down phase, proceed as follows: •...
