Setting the Humidity Conditions

If humidification is required, the humidity tray which is located on the lower shelf runners

should be pulled forward and filled with 0.5 litres of warm distilled water for cell culture work –

we recommend the use of copper sulphate (or recognised biocide) in the humidity tray. Tests

have shown that as well as inhibiting bacterial growth in the tray this can reduce

contamination on the chamber walls (one small teaspoonful copper sulphate recommended).

For IVF and other sensitive work – we do not recommend the use of any biocide in the

humidity tray. To reduce the possibility of contamination, the humidity tray water should be

changed and the humidity tray cleaned with 70% Alcohol / 30% distilled water solution every

10 – 14 days. To remove / replace the humidity tray: - turn the tray through 45° and remove

for refilling.

DO NOT LEAVE WATER IN THE HUMIDITY TRAY IF THE INCUBATOR IS SWITCHED OFF , AS

THIS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE CO

SENSOR.
