The following are detailed cleaning steps and precautions:
1. Keep the environment around the incubator well ventilated again, avoid direct sunlight and humid environment.
2. Check the sealing of the incubator and pay attention to the appearance of the sealing strips and leaking parts, and replace them in time if necessary.
3. Choose a dust-free dry cloth or soft cloth, and choose a suitable detergent, such as 75% alcohol, neutral disinfectant, etc.
4. Wear gloves during the entire cleaning process to avoid direct contact with detergents or disinfectants.
5. Before starting to clean, make sure that the incubator is powered off again.
6. Clean the outside of the incubator first, especially the top, sides and handles where dust is easily accumulated.
7. Remove the shelves and shelves (if any), wipe the inside of the box with a soft cloth dipped in detergent, and then scrub repeatedly with clean water.
8. If you encounter stubborn stains, such as protein or other organic stains, you can use an enzyme-containing detergent to treat them.
9. For inorganic stains such as scale, you can try to soak or scrub with a 1:1 vinegar water solution.
10. Remove the shelves, shelves (if any) and other accessories, wipe them with mild cleaning solution, rinse them with clean water, and put them into the incubator after drying.
11. Calibrate the incubator to ensure the accuracy of parameters such as temperature. A standard thermometer can be used for calibration verification.
12. After cleaning, make sure the inside of the incubator is dry before reusing it to avoid bacterial growth in a humid environment.
Through the above steps and precautions, effective cleaning and maintenance of the incubator can provide a good start for experimental work.
