| Description of the device
26 | CO2 Incubator Basic VWR
Chapter 4
The working surface of the incubator has been designed to minimize the surface area. This helps
to reduce contamination and promotes easy of cleaning.
Internal chamber:
All components of the work space are made of stainless steel and have a burnished, absolutely
smooth and easy-to-clean surface. Any embossings have a large radius.
The components of the shelf system can be removed easily so that only the easily treatable,
surface-reduced internal chamber [1] remains in the work space for cleaning and manual
disinfection works.
Water reservoir:
The water reservoir [2] is integral to the internal chamber floor and inclines toward the rear. The
embossing in the water tray is used to indicate minimum level [3] and the maximum level [4].
Heating system:
An air jacket heating is used for heating the work space. The arrangement of the heating elements
ensures that condensate formation above the water reservoir is prevented as fast as possible.
The outer door of the device is also heated. The heat radiated onto the interior glass door prevents
condensate formation. The work space of the device always remains visible, despite high humidity.
Shelf system:
The support rails [1] of the shelf system are perforated every 42 mm so that the support hooks [8]
can be inserted variably for any culture container size required. The shelves [2] have an integrated
tilt protection and withdrawal stop. For details of the shelf system, see Chapter 5 “Start-up”.
