• Use air conditioning with special filters. • Reduce the number of personnel and their movements in the lab by careful positioning all relevant equipment. For practical reasons, install the CO incubator close to the laminar air flow bench. • Regular microbiological monitoring of the cell culture laboratory. 21.3 Working and behavior in the lab Sources of contamination are often the laboratory personnel themselves (surface germs, oral flora droplet transfer) and handling the equipment and cultures.
• Condensation in the inner chamber represents a particular risk of contamination. The humidifying sys- tem with water pan with integrated condensation point developed by BINDER is an effective and easy way to ensure high humidity (95 +/- 2% r.h.) inside the incubator without any condensation forming on the inner surfaces.
• Replace the CO sterile filter (once or twice a year depending on usage). What to do in case of contamination? • Throw away / autoclave contaminated cultures. • Carefully inspect cultures that seem to be uncontaminated. • Clean the incubator as described. Wipe the inner chamber and the doors with a disinfectant and allow to dry.
We recommend using the neutral cleaning agent Art. No. 1002-0016 for a thorough cleaning. Any corrosive damage that may arise following use of other cleaning agents is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH. Use only the products recommended by BINDER for cleaning and disinfection NOTICE Danger of corrosion by using unsuitable cleaners.
For chemical disinfection, we recommend the disinfectant spray Art. No. 1002-0022. Any corrosive damage that may arise following use of other disinfectants is excluded from liability by BINDER GmbH. With every decontamination / disinfection method, always use adequate personal safety con- trols.
22.3 Disinfection of the CO sensor To ensure complete disinfection and proper function of the sensor, BINDER recommends a wipe disinfec- tion of the sensor head with pure alcohol or non-corrosive alcohol-based surface disinfectants. The disin- fectant must be non-corrosive and free of chlorine or any acid. We recommend using the disinfectant Art.

• Empty the water pan. WARNING Danger of implosion caused by a filled water pan during sterilization. Damage to the chamber. Empty the water pan before starting the hot-air sterilization. • Clean the chamber. • Water pan and shelves must be inside the incubator, the water pan at its usual place on the bottom. Before starting a hot-air sterilization, the entire interior must be clean and dry.
23.3.2 Performance during sterilization Normal display during sterilization (example during heating up phase) Sterilization The information message “Sterilization” is shown alternating with the indication “Temp. / CO2”. The CO actual value display shows “ – – – – ” because the CO sensor is disconnected.
23.4 Prematurely terminating the sterilization cycle – effects Prematurely terminating the sterilization cycle means terminating it before the entire 12-hour duration is completed. Whether effective sterilization has occurred depends on the time that has elapsed before. • Premature termination after less than 6 hours: Prevents effective sterilization. This is indicated by the alarm message “Sterilization failed”.
23.4.2 Premature termination after more than 6 hours, i.e., during the cooling-down phase: successful sterilization The duration of the entire sterilization is approx. 12 hours. If you want to shorten the sterilization proce- dure in order to save time, you can prematurely terminate it during the cooling-down phase, i.e. no sooner than after 6 hours.
• Do not open the chamber doors until the interior temperature has dropped to 37 °C / 98.6 °F. • After premature termination the chamber reverts to its standard operational status. • The CO actual value display shows “ – – – – ” because the CO sensor is disconnected.
