ATTENTION
If cultivation is started at low temperatures and the temperature
is then increased, condensation can form on the flasks because
these are heated up slower than the ambient air. This can lead
to the flasks coming off the adhesive matting.
Whether or not condensation occurs depends on the selected
temperatures, flask size and room climate, in particular the air
humidity.
If you are looking for a very flexible option for equipping the

tray, «Sticky Stuff» adhesive matting offers an ideal alterna-
tive.
However, you have to keep in mind that speeds are limited

when using «Sticky Stuff» adhesive matting (for more infor-
mation on this, refer to the table at the end of the chapter).
About using «Sticky Stuff» adhesive matting
Use only vessels with a broad flat base. Large Erlenmeyer

flasks (e.g. 3000 mL) adhere more strongly than smaller
ones (e.g. 500 mL).
Ensure that the entire bases of the flasks are on the adhe-

sive matting. They must not extend beyond the edge of the
tray.
Check vessels for damage prior to use and replace, if neces-

sary.
Never use damaged vessels!
Prior to putting down any vessel, ensure that its base is dry,

clean and grease-free.
Prior to the shaking process, gently pull on every vessel to

ensure they are all stuck on firmly.
If the humidity is too high or the temperatures are too low or

if there are extreme jumps in temperature (e.g. when using
the timer function), keep an eye on condensate. Condensate
can result in vessels detaching from the adhesive matting.
