Approved cultivation vessels
The equipment has been designed for use with the following ves-
sels using the holders designed specifically for them:
Erlenmeyer flasks up to 5,000 mL made of borosilicate glass
(e.g. Schott Duran
®
) or high-grade plastic, such as polycar-
bonate (z. B. Corning
®
) etc.
Fernbach flasks up to 3,000 mL made of borosilicate glass
(e.g. Schott Duran
®
) or high-grade plastic, such as polycar-
bonate (z. B. Corning
®
) etc.
Other vessels with the holders designed for them:
Test tubes
Centrifuge tubes
Microtitre plates
Deep well plates
To avoid the vessels coming out of the clamps at very high speeds,
they might have to be secured using cable ties underneath the
springs or some other suitable measure.
Cultivating organisms of risk category 2
When cultivating pathogenic organisms of risk category 2, special
measures must be taken to stop the organisms from escaping. The
user is responsible for this.
When using the equipment under protection category 2, stainless
steel clamps of the correct size must be used to affix the flasks.
Due to limited resistance to disinfectants as well as the risk of unin-
tentional detaching of flasks, «Sticky Stuff» adhesive matting is not
suitable for this purpose.
We further recommend using disposable plastic flasks with screw
tops and filter membranes. We recommend using sticky tape to
secure the lid against loosening unintentionally. Using glass flasks
with cotton wool or paper plugs is not sufficiently safe.
Trays with «Sticky Stuff» adhesive matting
For trays with «Sticky Stuff» adhesive matting, special provi-
sions apply in relation to maximum permitted speeds. These
must be observed to prevent cultivation vessels from detaching.
For detailed information see chapter 5.1.3 "Tray with «Sticky
Stuff» Adhesive Matting", page 55.
