Page 30: Gassing Of Co² Incubators
In order to reduce evaporation from the culture media, humidification of the gas mixture may be necessary if larger gas flow rates are used. We recommend the K-SYSTEMS GH01, which must be connected between the regulator and the G95 portable incubator. -
Page 31: Purging
The flowrate should be high for 20-30 seconds after opening and then set back to the lower value. When frequent openings of the portable incubator are required, it may be necessary to use a flowmeter with a flush-flow valve for rapid purging. In this case, K-SYSTEMS recommends the GH01. After gassing, the lid should then be se- cured with the two locks and the incubator is ready for transport. -
