Gas Incubation System – Silver Line 4.3 Humidifying Column To avoid evaporation and drying out of the probe, the Humidifying Column humidifies the gas stream flowing into the incubation chamber. Part of the mixed gas output is guided through the column.
Gas Incubation System – Silver Line 4.4 Heated Tubing Package The Heated Tubing Package connects the gas output of the Gas Mixer to the Humidifying Column and to the Incubation Chamber on the microscope stage (Figure 7). To actively control the humidity, two gas outputs are needed.
Heated Plate Figure 8: Humidity sensor integrated into the Heated Lid of the Incubation Chamber of the ibidi Heating System Slide/Dish. The humidity sensor is integrated in a small cavity inside the Heated Lid. The humidity sensor is connected with the Heated Plate via the electrical connection pins of the Heated Lid.
5.1 Installation and Connection Figure shows an overview of how to setup the ibidi Gas Incubation System – Silver Line together with the ibidi Heating System Slide/Dish – Silver Line. The Gas Mixer and the Humidifying Column should be placed next to the microscope and on the same height level as the microscope stand. The tubing of the Heated Tubing Package needs to reach the Incubation Chamber on the microscope stage.
Gas Incubation System – Silver Line 1. Place the Gas Mixer and Humidifying Column onto the microscope table next to the micro- scope. 2. Confirm that the power switch of the Gas Mixer is off (power switch is on the back of the Gas Mixer).

Gas Incubation System – Silver Line 5.1.4 Connection of the Power Supply (and USB optionally) To finish the setup, the power supply must be connected. Optionally, the USB cable can be used to connect the Gas Mixer to an external computer. This enables the use of the IncuControl software de- livered with the system (Section 6) for data logging and control of the parameters of the experiment.

Leave the instrument to cool down for approximately 5 minutes. Use only dry cloth or a cloth dampened with water (ultrapure) or common lab disinfection solutions that are based on quaternary ammonium compounds (e.g., Barrycidal 36 or Pharmacidal).
