    OPERATION HEORY OF PERATION AND AJOR OMPONENT UNCTIONS Achieving Anaerobic Conditions Hydrogen Oxygen Positive Active Pressure Catalyst Figure 6: Atmosphere Control Measures The BACTRON workstation is designed to establish and maintain an anaerobic atmosphere suitable for clinical cultivation of anaerobic bacteria. This atmosphere is initially achieved through a purge of the workspace chamber using a flow of anaerobic mixed gas (AMG).
  • Page 34 Incubators BACTRON300 and BACTRON900 are each provided with a cabinet style incubator in the workspace chamber. The BACTRON600 and BACTRON900 come with two rotating shelves (Lazy Susans) in a side storage incubator.
  • Page 35 OPERATION (CONTINUED) The Over Temperature Limit System The OTL is a mechanical heating cutoff included with each incubator, and which operates independently of the incubator microprocessor. It is intended to be set by the user to approximately 1°C above the current operating temperature set point. The OTL prevents runaway heating in the event that the main controller fails while in its heating mode.
  • Page 36: Place The Bactron In Operation

    8 hours at 200C will be needed to reactivate the catalyst. The BACTRON requires a continual supply of AMG to set up and operate. The BACTRON300 needs approximately 200 psi of AMG for its purge of the workspace chamber atmosphere. The BACTRON600 and BACTRON900 require around 400 psi of AMG for the setup purge of the chamber and side storage incubator.

  • Page 43: Moving In The Pressurized Chamber

    OPERATION (CONTINUED) OVING IN THE RESSURIZED HAMBER There is a minor, but noticeable feeling of resistance while working in the overpressure environment of the workspace chamber. Moving in the chamber will temporarily increase the chamber pressure. Large and fast movements can cause the manometer to bubble as anaerobic atmosphere is forced out of the BACTRON.
  • Page 44: Verifying An Anaerobic Atmosphere

    OPERATION (CONTINUED) ERIFYING AN NAEROBIC TMOSPHERE This procedure verifies that an anaerobic atmosphere has been established prior to placing anaerobe samples in the workstation. 1. After entering the workspace chamber, open one of the Oxoid brand anaerobic monitoring strip packages. 2.

  • Page 46: Exiting The Chamber

    OPERATION (CONTINUED) XITING THE HAMBER Withdrawing your arms through the arm ports creates a negative pressure in the chamber. If done too quickly, the motion can draw in outside oxygenated atmosphere through the sleeve cuffs or manometer. Use the following steps to exit the chamber without pulling in aerobic atmosphere. 1.

    OPERATION (CONTINUED) ET THE EMPERATURE OINT Perform the steps below to change the set point to the operational temperature you will be using during your incubation application. Incubators come from the factory with a set point of 37°C. Each incubator set point must be set independently. Note: The visual example below depicts adjusting the incubator set point from 35°C to a 37°C application temperature.
  • Page 48: Temperature Accuracy Verification

    OPERATION (CONTINUED) EMPERATURE CCURACY ERIFICATION Note: Performing a temperature accuracy verification requires a temperature reference device. Please see the Reference Sensor Device entry on page 12 for the device requirements. Optional: Each BACTRON incubator was calibrated at the factory at 37ºC. A verification of the display accuracy may be carried out when preparing the incubator for use or when required by your laboratory or production protocol.
  • Page 49 OPERATION (CONTINUED) Verifying the Temperature Display Accuracy 1. Once the chamber temperature has stabilized, compare the reference Reference Device temperature device and incubator display readings. a. If the readings are the same, or if a difference between the two falls within the acceptable range of your protocol, the display is accurately showing the chamber air temperature.
  • Page 50: Set The Over Temperature Limit

    OPERATION (CONTINUED) Note: Test the OTL system at least once per year for functionality. Note: Each incubator OTL must be set independently in the BACTRON900. ET THE EMPERATURE IMIT The incubator must be operating at your incubation application temperature, and must be stable for at least 1 hour prior to setting the OTL.
  • Page 51: Cycling The Pass Box

    OPERATION (CONTINUED) YCLING THE The pass box operates as an airlock, so at least one door must be closed at all times when an anaerobic atmosphere is present in the workspace chamber. If the main control panel Aerobic light is lit, the outer pass box door has been opened since the last auto cycle, allowing oxygenated atmosphere into the pass box.
  • Page 52 OPERATION (CONTINUED) Manual Cycle Users may manually cycle the pass box. This option is provided as a backup for the auto cycle. 1. Both pass box doors must be closed and latched, with the Doors light illuminated on the main control panel, to safely cycle the pass box. a.
  • Page 53: Load Samples

    OPERATION (CONTINUED) AMPLES Sheldon Manufacturing recommends waiting 24 hours after establishing an anaerobic atmosphere before loading samples into the unit. Airtight containers can introduce significant amounts of oxygen into the anaerobic environment of the BACTRON. Whenever possible, closed containers placed in the pass box should be loose- capped or ventilated to allow the pass box cycles to draw oxygen from the containers.
  • Page 54: Reactivating The Catalyst Cartridges

    OPERATION (CONTINUED) EACTIVATING THE ATALYST ARTRIDGES Note: A flow of AMG for testing and cleaning can be obtained by disconnecting the foot pedal GAS - VAC line from an arm port while the door is closed, and then depressing the GAS pedal. An active catalyst cartridge must be installed in the workspace chamber to achieve and maintain anaerobic conditions.
  • Page 55: Volatile Compound Scrubber And Rejuvenation Cycle

    OPERATION (CONTINUED) OLATILE OMPOUND CRUBBER AND EJUVENATION YCLE Activated carbon scrubber media can be placed in the workspace chamber to absorb volatile fatty acids (VFAs) or volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) produced by sample cultivation. This helps keep the workstation interior clean, reduces odors, and prolongs catalyst endurance during cultivation processes producing significant amounts of VFAs or VSCs.
  • Page 56: Deionized And Distilled Water

    OPERATION (CONTINUED) EIONIZED AND ISTILLED ATER Do not use deionized water for cleaning or humidifying the BACTRON! While commonly available in laboratory environments, deionized water is an aggressive solvent that attacks most metal surfaces. Use of deionized water in a BACTRON voids the manufacturing defect warranty and may damage the workstation.
