The following hardware components are included with the environmental control system:
Environmental Control Cassette:Holds the labware during acquisition. The cassette is
magnetically sealed to maintain the environment and is compatible with most plate and
dish formats from 6-well to 384-well with a plate bottom clearance of at least 1.3mm
(0.05in.) and a maximum height (including the lid)of 23mm (0.9in.). Note that the standard
height for plates is 14.35mm ± 0.25mm (0.5650in. ± 0.0098in).
Note: Plate bottom clearance is defined by subtracting well depth and bottom
thickness from plate height, as follows:
Environmental Sensors: Provides accurate readings of temperature, humidity, CO
2
, and O
2
.
Environmental Control Tray: Attaches to the back of the instrument to hold the humidifying
column and the tubing/wiring.
Humidifying Column: Humidifies the mixed gas. Part of the gas mixture is guided through
the column, which contains a water reservoir. The water inside the column is warmed for
higher humidity uptake.
Humidifying Column Tubing/Wiring: Connects the humidifying column to the instrument.
Gas Supply Tubing:Molecular Devices provides 10m (32.8ft) of tubing to connect the
instrument to the regulator. If this is not sufficient, you must provide an appropriate length
of 4mm I.D. / 6mm O.D. polyurethane tubing.
Push-to-Connect Fittings: Attaches to the gas supply regulator or lab gas line to enable
easy connections to the instrument.
Blind Plugs:Closes off the CO
2
port, the N
2
port, or both ports when not in use.
Humidifying Column Stoppers: Seals the access port on the humidifying column.
Plate Skirt Height Adapter:Raises the plate inside the environmental control cassette.
