incubators C 170 are suitable for the cultivation of mammal cells under typical conditions of approx.
37 °C / 98.6 °F. The incubator permits setting defined pH conditions by common NaHCO

atmosphere inside. C 170 incubators guarantee high
humidity inside to avoid osmolarity increasing caused by the evaporation of the cell media.
Observing the instructions in this operating manual and conducting regular maintenance work
(chap. 16) is part of the intended use.
Other applications are not approved.

WARNING: If customer should use a BINDER chamber running in non-supervised continu-
ous operation, we strongly recommend in case of inclusion of irrecoverable specimen or
samples to split such specimen or samples and store them in at least two chambers, if this is
feasible.
Always use proper protective equipment (clothing, gloves, safety glasses, etc.).
Always follow good hygienic practices according to GLP/SOP protocols.
Each individual operating the C 170 incubator is responsible for his or her own safety
Any component of the charging material must NOT be able to release toxic gases.
DANGER
Explosion or implosion hazard.
Danger of poisoning.
Danger of death.
∅ Do NOT introduce any substance combustible or explosive at working temperature into
the constant climate chamber.
∅ NO explosive dust or air-solvent mixture in the inner chamber.
∅ Do NOT introduce any substance which could lead to release of toxic gases.
In case of foreseeable use of the device there is no risk for the user through the integration of the cham-
ber into systems or by special environmental or operating conditions in the sense of EN 61010-1:2010.
For this, the intended use of the chamber and all its connections must be observed.
