Anaerobic Incubator LAI-T2010

Introduction

Anaerobic Incubator with chamber. Equipped with automatic humidity control system, automatic sleeve gassing system operated by foot-switch to control vacuum and nitrogen gas filling, external vacuum pump, and power socket. Designed with 304 stainless steel shell material and transparent, shockproof special glass lifting front door. Anaerobic environment is generated within 5 minutes in sampling chamber and less than 1 hour in operating chamber which brings down the oxygen concentration to ≤ 1 %. High efficiency palladium catalyst to keep oxygen concentration < 0.1 %. Strict anaerobic and thermostat environment provides systematic and scientific area. It provides a stable and controlled environment for cell culture, microbial growth, and other biological experiments. The precise temperature and humidity control ensure consistent experimental conditions and reliable results.

Applications

Used in medical, research institutes for inspection, microbiological examination and research of pathogenic anaerobic bacteria, brewing of food hygiene, other hypoxia, micro aerobic and oxygen free environment. It can cultivate most difficult anaerobic microbe and avoid risk of microbe death due to oxygen.

FAQs

1. How to calibrate the temperature and humidity controls in the laboratory incubator?

Calibration should be performed by qualified personnel using calibrated temperature and humidity sensors: 1) Place the calibrated sensors at different locations inside the incubator chamber to ensure uniform distribution; 2) Set the incubator to the desired temperature and humidity levels and allow it to stabilize for at least 24 hours; 3) Compare the readings from the incubator's display with the calibrated sensors; 4) Adjust the controls according to the manufacturer's instructions if discrepancies are found; 5) Document the calibration results and schedule regular recalibration (every 6-12 months).

2. What is the optimal way to arrange samples inside the incubator for uniform conditions?

To ensure uniform conditions: 1) Avoid overcrowding the incubator, leaving sufficient space between samples for air circulation; 2) Place samples away from the chamber walls, heating/cooling elements, and door to prevent temperature fluctuations; 3) Use shelves or racks that allow air to circulate freely around all samples; 4) Avoid placing large or heat-generating equipment inside the incubator; 5) Rotate samples periodically if long-term incubation is required to account for any minor temperature variations.

3. Can the incubator be used for anaerobic or CO2-enriched environments?

Specialized incubators (anaerobic incubators, CO2 incubators) are designed for these environments. Standard incubators may not maintain the required gas concentrations or oxygen-free conditions. For anaerobic applications, use an incubator equipped with a gas control system that maintains oxygen levels below 1% and may include catalysts to remove oxygen. For CO2-enriched environments, use a CO2 incubator that maintains precise CO2 concentrations (typically 5-10%) and humidity levels, essential for cell culture applications.

4. How to clean and disinfect the incubator to prevent contamination?

Regular cleaning and disinfection steps: 1) Turn off the incubator and allow it to cool down to room temperature; 2) Remove all samples and shelves; 3) Wipe the interior surfaces with a mild detergent solution, followed by a disinfectant compatible with the incubator materials (such as 70% ethanol); 4) For stubborn contamination, use a specialized laboratory disinfectant according to the manufacturer's instructions; 5) Clean the shelves and any accessories separately; 6) Allow all surfaces to dry completely before reassembling and restarting the incubator; 7) Perform this procedure monthly or more frequently if contamination is suspected.

5. What should be done if the incubator temperature fluctuates significantly?

If temperature fluctuations occur: 1) Check if the incubator door is properly closed and sealed; 2) Ensure the incubator is not placed near heat sources, air conditioning vents, or drafty areas; 3) Verify that the incubator is not overloaded, which can restrict air circulation; 4) Check the air filter (if equipped) and replace it if dirty; 5) Inspect the heating and cooling elements for proper operation; 6) If the problem persists, contact technical support for further diagnosis and repair, as it may indicate a malfunction in the temperature control system.
