Using Sticky Stuff
Page 40 of 104
NOTICE
If condensate forms on the tray or the culture vessels, the adhesive-
ness of the Sticky Stuff adhesive matting is no longer guaranteed.
This can result in cultivation vessels separating from the adhesive
matting and breaking.
Hence, consider the following when using Sticky Stuff:
−
Ensure that condensate does not form on the tray or the culture
vessels. This is particularly necessary when cultivation is started
at low temperatures and the temperature is then increased.
− Let cultivation vessels that were stored in the fridge warm up to
ambient temperature first before placing them on the adhesive
matting.
If you are looking for a very flexible option for equipping the tray,
■
the tray with Sticky Stuff offers an ideal alternative.
However, you have to keep in mind that rotation speeds are
■
limited when using Sticky Stuff (for more information on this, refer
to the table at the end of the chapter).
Due to limited resistance to disinfectants as well as
the risk of unintentional detaching of flasks, Sticky
Stuff is not suitable for cultivating pathogenic micro-
organisms.
Use only vessels with a broad flat base. Large Erlenmeyer flasks (e.g.
■
3000 mL) adhere more strongly than smaller ones (e. g. 500 mL).
Ensure that the entire bases of the flasks are on the adhesive mat-
■
ting. They must not extend beyond the edge of the tray.
Check vessels for damage prior to use and replace, if necessary.
■
Never use damaged vessels!
Prior to putting down any vessel, ensure that its base is dry, clean
■
and grease-free.
