Approved cultivation vessels
The device has been designed for use with the following vessels using
the holders designed specifically for them:
Erlenmeyer flasks up to 5,000 mL made of borosilicate glass

(e.g. Schott Duran ®
(z. B. Corning ® ) etc.
Fernbach flasks up to 3,000 mL made of borosilicate glass (e.g.

Schott Duran ® ) or high-grade plastic, such as polycarbonate
(z. B. Corning ) etc.
®
Other vessels with the holders designed for them:

Test tubes

Centrifuge tubes

Microtitre plates

Deep well plates

To avoid the vessels coming out of the clamps at very high speeds,
they might have to be secured using cable ties underneath the
springs or some other suitable measure.
Cultivating organisms of risk category 2
When cultivating pathogenic organisms of risk category 2, special
measures must be taken to stop the organisms from escaping. The
user is responsible for this.
When using the device under protection category 2, stainless steel
clamps of the correct size must be used to affix the flasks. Due to lim-
ited resistance to disinfectants as well as the risk of unintentional de-
taching of flasks, Sticky Stuff adhesive matting is not suitable for this
purpose.
We further recommend using disposable plastic flasks with screw
tops and filter membranes. We recommend using sticky tape to se-
cure the lid against loosening unintentionally. Using glass flasks with
cotton wool or paper plugs is not sufficiently safe.
Trays with Sticky Stuff
INFORMATION
For trays with Sticky Stuff, special provisions apply in relation to
maximum permitted speeds. These must be observed to prevent
cultivation vessels from detaching.
For detailed information see chapter 5.1.3 "Tray with Sticky
Stuff", page 63.
