Loading the box for microtitre plates
To improve transfer of oxygen to the cultures and facilitate the re-
moval of the plates, spacers (Quickload spacers) (1) can be placed
between the individual layers. Prior to loading, the Quickload spac-
ers must be removed. Following that, microtitre or deep well plates
can be inserted.
For cultivations with a low oxygen requirements, Quickload spac-
ers do not have to be used.
Inserting/replacing a filter
To insert or replace a sterile filter (3), the filter washer (2) must be
removed first. To do so, press the locking button (1) on the filter
washer and lift up the filter washer. Following that, the filter can be
inserted and the filter washer can be put back in its place.
Sterilising the box for microtitre plates
The box for microtitre plates can be autoclaved (recommendation:
20 min at 120 °C). To do so, remove the Quickload spacers first
and disinfect them using commercial disinfectant.
Agitation speed limits
When there are high agitation speeds or insufficient grip due to hu-
midity or dirt, the box for microtitre plates can separate from the
«Sticky Stuff» adhesive matting during agitation and cause dam-
age to the incubation chamber. The maximum permissible agitation
speed is therefore limited as follows:

INFORMATION

ommended to use a special tray with permanently mounted
boxes. Details on request.
