To remove vessels, gently and evenly pull or push on the
neck and wait a few seconds.
Never use force!
In case of large vessels, it can take 20 to 30 seconds until
they detach from the adhesive matting.
Vessels that are stuck can be removed from the adhesive
matting by using a syringe to inject water under the flask.
Due to their shape (wide base, short neck), Fernbach flasks
in particular can be difficult to remove. If necessary, cover
part of the adhesive matting with the protective foil provided.
The adhesive power can deteriorate over time due to dust
and dirt. To clean and restore full adhesive power, thor-
oughly wipe down the surfaces with a brush or a dish sponge
and clear water with mild detergent (dishwashing liquid).
Then let dry over night.
Quaternary ammonium compounds are suitable for dis-
infection.
Consider application times and thoroughly rinse with water. If
the adhesive matting is disinfected at regular intervals, it
might need to be replaced sooner.
To replace the adhesive matting proceed as follows:
1. Thoroughly spray the tray with water
2.
On one side, peel the adhesive matting off the tray and pull up
diagonally.
3. Use acetone to degrease the tray and apply new wet adhe-
sive matting (according to separate installation instructions).
Only peel off protective foil prior to use.
The removed adhesive matting can be reused and can be reap-
plied after regeneration in water.
Adhesive matting that is severely worn due to age must be re-
placed if you notice that adhesion has deteriorated after
cleaning.
Due to limited resistance to disinfectants as well as the risk of
unintentional detaching of flasks, «Sticky Stuff» adhesive mat-
ting is not suitable for cultivating pathogenic microorganisms.
