OPERATION
LOADING SAMPLES
The manufacturer strongly recommends waiting at least 12 hours after putting the incubator in
operation before loading samples in the chamber. This safeguards against temperature instability.
• Samples should be placed at least 1 inch (25 mm) away from the chamber walls.
• Samples or sample stacks should be spaced 1 inch (25 mm) apart.
• Proper spacing allows for maximum air circulation and a higher degree of temperature
uniformity.
• Proper spacing also decreases the chance of condensate forming in the incubator when
operating with a large number of samples in the chamber.
ACCESSORY COMPATIBILITY
• Verify that any powered accessory equipment used inside the chamber can safely and
effectively operate within your selected temperature, humidity, and CO
2
concentration
range.
• Powered equipment, such as stirrers or shakers, can generate heat sufficient to disrupt the
thermal uniformity and stability of the chamber.
