Clean the Glass Doors

The chamber glass door and the optional independent inner doors may be cleaned using
the same disinfectant as used on the environmental chamber interior. It is imperative that
they be rinsed with sterile distilled water to remove the disinfectant residue. The doors
should then be dried with a clean soft cloth.
Some precautions in the cleaning and care of the environmental chamber glass
doors:
Moisture leaches alkaline materials (sodium, Na) from the surface of the glass.
Evaporation of the moisture concentrates the alkaline and may produce a white staining or
clouding of the glass surface. Cleaning chemicals with a pH above 9 accelerate the
corrosion process. Therefore, it is very important to rinse and dry the glass doors after
cleaning.
There is no simple method for repairing corroded glass. In most cases, the glass
must be replaced.
Do not use chlorinated solvents on stainless steel as they can cause rusting and
pitting.
Do not use volatile or aromatic solvents for cleaning inside the cabinet as their
residue can contaminate the cabinet environment.
