This article introduces the cleaning methods and operating precautions for biochemical incubators.
I. Cleaning Methods for Biochemical Incubators
(1) Turn off all control switches and disconnect the power supply, then open the incubator door.
(2) Use a cloth dampened with drinking water and a cleaning agent to wipe all corners inside the incubator.
(3) Use a cloth dampened with drinking water to wipe away the cleaning agent from inside the incubator.
(4) Reconnect the power supply and restore all components to their normal state.
(5) The incubator should be cleaned quarterly to maintain cleanliness.
II. Precautions for Biochemical Incubators
(1) The equipment should be kept away from electromagnetic interference sources, and the equipment's ground wire should be properly grounded.
(2) Avoid violent collisions during transportation, maintenance, and servicing of the incubator; the tilt angle should be less than 45°.
(3) To ensure effective heat dissipation of the condenser, the distance between the condenser and the wall should be greater than 100mm.
(4) Not suitable for culturing items containing volatile chemical solvents, low-concentration explosive gases, and low-ignition point gases, as well as toxic substances.
(5) When placing experimental items on the incubator shelves, maintain an appropriate distance between each experimental bottle to facilitate convection of hot and cold air.
(6) When the refrigeration system is working, avoid frequently opening the incubator door unless necessary for experiments. This helps maintain temperature stability and prevents dust and dirt from entering.
(7) Regularly check the cooling and heating status of the incubator and the temperature and humidity inside. If any abnormalities occur, do not disassemble the equipment arbitrarily; notify the equipment maintenance department for maintenance to ensure the normal operation of the incubator.
(8) Clean the workbench surface promptly after use. To prevent contamination, avoid condensation of water droplets on the working chamber walls when using at low temperatures.
(9) The equipment surface and inner liner should be wiped frequently to maintain cleanliness and increase the transparency of the glass.
(10) If the equipment is not used for a long time, unplug the power cord to prevent electric shock. It should also be operated periodically (every 4 months) for 2-3 days under normal operating conditions to remove moisture from electrical components and prevent damage to related parts.
