  • Page 27 WARNING ! ➢ In their liquid state inert gases are extremely cold fluids which can cause serious burns when in contact with the skin ➢ A cryogenic spill often gives a low-lying cloud of vapor that creeps along the ground When a cryogenic liquid is released into the atmosphere, it evaporates and forms a dense cloud.
  • Page 28 General Safety Instructions When working with inert gases prevent contact of liquid gas, cold vapors, or "snow" with exposed skin. Prevent entrapment of liquid in closed systems. Use only in well ventilated areas. Compressed gas cylinders contain gaseous and liquid gas at extremely high pressure and should be handled with care.

  • Page 32: Backup Refrigeration Installation

    7.1.3 Backup Refrigeration installation On installations preferably choose pressurized liquid gas storage cylinders rather than wall outlets. The use of cylinders will limit the amount of gas being spilled in case of fatal failure. Whenever a wall outlet installation is chosen, make sure that there is a remote shut off valve installed outside the room where the liquid is used.

  • Page 33: Specific Advice For Ln2 Liquid Nitrogen

    7.1.4 Specific Advice for LN2 Liquid Nitrogen Properties of Nitrogen Nitrogen is colorless, odorless and tasteless, as gas or liquid. It is nontoxic and non-flammable at atmospheric temperatures and pressures. A specific gravity of 0.9669 makes nitrogen slightly lighter than air. Nitrogen is mainly found in the atmosphere, where it accounts for 78.1% by volume of the air we breathe.
  • Page 34 In case of an accident evacuate all personnel from the affected area. Persons suffering from lack of oxygen should be removed to fresh air. If victim is not breathing, use trained personnel to administer a supplemental oxygen supply and artificial respiration to support vital functions. If breathing is difficult, administer oxygen.

  • Page 35: Refill Ln2 Liquid Nitrogen Cylinder

    7.1.5 Refill LN2 Liquid Nitrogen cylinder Whenever working with liquid Nitrogen use of personal safety equipment is required. Thermal gloves and protective glasses have to be worn at least. Refill interval of LN2 cylinder is depending on the required minimum backup time and the available LN2 cylinder volume.

  • Page 36: Alert System

    Manual Operation Alert System The Biolix FAB Hybrid has a combined acoustic / visual alert system. An alert occurs when one or more abnormal statuses occur or when interaction is required. When the system is operating properly there is no alert. The various alerts are distinguished by the alert signal duration and the pause between the signals.

  • Page 37: Barcode Reader

    Barcode Reader 1D Reader for racks and plates The Barcode reader for plate/rack identification is mounted onto the handling mechanism. The Barcodes must be placed on the shorter side of the plates and must face towards the open side of the cassette. The barcodes should be parallel to the plate’s lower edge.

    Cassettes 10.1 Interface Cassettes Cassettes allow simple and comfortable loading and unloading of storage samples and can be prepared outside the climate chamber. Once prepared, the samples can be quickly transferred into the climate chamber of the Kiwi unit. There is a wide variety of cassette types available. Make sure that you work with the proper cassette size that matches the type of plates you are using.
  • Page 39 The carousel must be kept clean as particles may cause the cassette to tilt. Do not place cassettes on the floor as they may pick-up dust etc. Always store cassettes inside the climate chamber or on clean surfaces. Use the cassette handle for transport of the cassettes. When lifting the cassette by its handle it will tilt backward slightly in order to prevent plates from shifting to the front.
  • Page 40 Cassette Handle Cassette Cassette Back Carousel The cassettes are secured by alignment rails to the carousel. The cassettes may be tilted slightly backwards (towards the front opening) for removal. In order to load a cassette align the back of the stacker base plate to the cassette alignment rail.
