The carbon dioxide incubator provides an ideal environment for cell growth. The stability and reliability of the performance of the incubator are very important. In addition, the correct use method and daily maintenance are also crucial to the experimental results.

Routine maintenance of lab carbon dioxide incubator:

1. Perfect file management

When formulating maintenance documents, it is necessary to fully consider the frequency of use of the incubator, the cleanliness of the laboratory environment, the number of users, and the type of cells to be cultured, etc., and make a reasonable plan based on all aspects.

2. Regular cleaning

The frequency of regular cleaning of the interior and exterior of the incubator depends on the type of cells to be cultured and the laboratory environment.

3. Cleaning of the water tray

The cleaning and water changing of the water tray are very important items in the daily maintenance of the incubator. It needs to be cleaned at least once a week, and water should be added frequently to ensure saturated humidity.

4. Prevent drying

If the humidity in the culture environment is insufficient, the water in the culture medium will evaporate, resulting in a dry environment that affects cell growth. Adding water at least once a week is very important to maintain humidity in the incubator.

5. HEPA filter

The HEPA filter continuously provides clean air inside the incubator. In order to ensure the effectiveness of HEPA filtration, HEPA needs to be replaced regularly, and the filter should be checked regularly every week or two weeks.

6. Cycle sterilization

Some laboratory potential pathogenic microorganisms require dry heat cycle sterilization to be effectively removed.

The daily maintenance of Co2 incubator is very important to ensure its performance. Doing a good job in the daily maintenance not only reduces the impact on the experimental results, but also prolongs the service life of the incubator and reduces laboratory costs.
