1.3 Comprehensive description The CO Incubator is an experiment box product designed, developed and produced by RWD, and also an advanced type of equipment for cell, tissue and bacteria culture. The CO Incubator ensures stable internal temperature, stable carbon dioxide level, constant pH, and high saturated humidity by the precise control systems for temperature, carbon dioxide and humidity, that to make the normal growth of cells.
production, culture of hybridoma cells for antibody production, in vitro fertilization (IVF), stem cells, tissue engineering, and drug screening. 1.4 Product features Triple sterilization function. Continuous sterilization for 24 hours, professional HEPA filtration system, and irregular sterilization; Efficient, fast and easy high temperature sterilization cycle ensures not only effective disinfection and sterilization, but also automatic running at night.
The following safety symbols and general marks may be used in the User Manual and on the equipment. If you have any question or suggestion regarding safety, please contact RWD for after-sales support. To prevent damages to the equipment and extend the service life of the equipment, please follow these instructions carefully.

water mist should be wiped out. The pressure value of carbon dioxide inlet should between 1- 2 atmospheres. (1Standard atmosphere =101.325kPa=1bar=14.5Psi)). If the CO Incubator is overheated at 160°C, the internal temperature protector will cut off the heating power. In this case, it is necessary to restart the power supply after 8-12 hours of power-off.
3. Product assembly and structure 3.1 Incubator Installation 3.1.1 Precautions before Installiation 1) At least 10 cm of clearance should be left behind the CO Incubator to allow the connection of electrical or gas supply devices to the equipment. In addition, at least 10 cm of ventilation clearance should be left on each side of the equipment.

Pull the horizontal shelf bracket forward so that its front hole engages with the corresponding front hanging piece of the side vertical plate. Hanging slot Vertical plate Horizontal shelf bracket 4) Ejector rob assembly.
3.1.6 Install the access port filter 1) Find an access port in the upper left corner of the inner side of incubator chamber. 2) Find the plug with filter from the accessory kit. 3) Push the opening cover to the right in the incubator and insert the filter assembly into the opening.
3.1.10 Filling of humidity pan 1) Add sterile distilled water to the humidity pan until its water level is no more than 2/3 of total distance from the top of humidity pan. Place the humidity pan directly in the center of the bottom of the CO Incubator.
a 40-hour work week shall not exceed the eight-hour time weighted average of 5000 PPM (0.5% CO2).. The short-term exposure limit less than 15 minutes is 30,000 ppm (3% CO ). In confined areas, it is recommended to monitor carbon dioxide level due to carbon dioxide accumulation.
