Dish Inserts; Chamber Heating; Chamber Lid; Preparation Chamber - K-Systems G210 InviCell User Manual

Intended Use

Dish Inserts

The chambers should only be fitted with special Dish Inserts (1), that allow safe placement of standard
culture dishes (Falcon, Nunc, Vitrolife).
4
Ensure the culture dishes
are placed securely in the
correct milled grooves of
the Dish Inserts.

Chamber Heating

Each chamber is heated with K-Systems unique non-inductive EM Neutra™ heating system, which
provides a uniform heat distribution and ensures there is no electro-magnetic field around the embryos/
gametes. All chambers have their own individual sensors to ensure stable temperatures at all times
and unidirectional gas flow across the chambers ensures even gas distribution in each chamber.

Chamber Lid

Each lid has a sensor that, when opened, will disconnect the gas flow to minimize ambient air entering
the chamber. The gas flow restarts immediately after closing the lid.
The silicone plugs (2) in the lid of each chamber are for the collection of gas samples. These plugs
should be replaced when penetrated a maximum of 5 times.

Preparation Chamber

The Preparation Chamber (3) is intended to be used for the equilibration and heating of pre-filled
culture dishes with an oil overlay or flask of oil.
The Preparation Chamber also has a temperature sensor which will disconnect the gas flow when the
lid is opened, to minimize the ingress of ambient air. The gas flow restarts immediately after closing
the lid.
Gas flow to the Preparation Chamber can be disconnected by using the on/off button in system
settings (see page 26).
