Why is the gas concentration slow to recover in Sanyo Laboratory Equipment?
- K
  Karen ScottSep 12, 2025
  If the gas concentration is slow to recover in your Sanyo Laboratory Equipment, consider these factors: the HEPA filter used for the incubator gas piping might be clogged (if the CO gas concentration is normal), there might be little gas remaining in the gas cylinder, the secondary pressure for the CO gas pressure regulator might not be at the specified value of 0.03 MPaG (0.3 kgf/cm2G, 4.3 psiG), the secondary pressure for the N /CO gas pressure regulator might not be at the specified value of 0.05 MPaG (0.5 kgf/cm2G, 7.1 psiG), or the gas tube might be blocked.

  Check if the doors are being frequently opened and closed. Inspect gas connectors for leaks due to gas tube deterioration or pinhole leaks; consider replacing the gas tube annually. Also, check the packing seals for the gastight split doors and inner door for defects, and ensure the access hole is closed.

  Verify that the secondary pressure for the CO2 gas pressure regulator is at the specified value of 0.03 MPaG (0.3 kgf/cm2G, 4.3 psiG) and the secondary pressure for the N2 gas pressure regulator is at the specified value of 0.05 MPaG (0.5 kgf/cm2G, 7.1 psiG). Also, check if the gas tube is blocked.

What to do if H2O2 decontamination cannot be performed on Sanyo Medical Equipment?
- K
  Kelly BestAug 29, 2025
  If using the MCO-19M(UV)/19M, check if the optional MCO-HL is installed. If using the MCO-19M, confirm that both the optional MCO-HL and MCO-19UVS are installed. Verify that the UV lamp is not burned out, as this prevents H2O2 decontamination. Ensure the H2O2 Generator cable is properly connected, that the entire bottle of H2O2 Decontamination Reagent has not been used, and that the upper limit temperature alarm is not set to 50°C or higher.

  When starting operation, ensure that the chamber temperature and CO2 gas concentration match the set values. Check the CO2 gas pressure regulator's secondary pressure is at 0.03 MPaG (0.3 kgf/cm2G. 4.3 psiG) and the N2 gas pressure regulator's secondary pressure is at 0.05 MPaG (0.5 kgf/cm2G, 7.1 psiG). Verify the gas tube is properly connected. During operation, ensure the upper limit alarm temperature is set at least 1°C higher than the chamber set temperature. Check if the temperature setting has been changed, the door has been left open, or a low-temperature object has been placed inside. If any of these are the case, the alarm will automatically clear if you wait. Also, check for gas leaks, changes to the CO2 gas concentration setting, and whether the gas cylinder is empty. Check the ...

What to do if the outer door does not open on Sanyo Laboratory Equipment?
- J
  Jennifer MonroeSep 14, 2025
  If the outer door of your Sanyo Laboratory Equipment does not open, it could be due to the electric lock being engaged when the power is OFF. Turn the power ON or use the accessory unlock key to override the electric lock. Also, during decontamination, the outer door is electrically locked and will not open.

  reginaperrySep 8, 2025
  If your Sanyo Laboratory Equipment incubator is consuming a large quantity of gas, consider the following: Are the doors being opened and closed frequently? Check for gas leaks from connectors due to deterioration of the gas tube, or any pinhole leaks. Inspect the packing seal for gastight split doors and the inner door for defects. Also, ensure the access hole is closed.
