How to maintain laboratory mold incubator

I. Daily maintenance

1. Cleaning: After use every day, wipe the dust and dirt inside and outside the incubator with a soft cloth to keep the equipment clean, and do not use irritating or corrosive detergents.

2. Record usage: Regularly record the usage of the equipment, such as temperature, humidity, running time, etc., so as to detect abnormalities in time.

II. Regular maintenance

1. Internal disinfection: Use 70% medical alcohol to disinfect the inner of the incubator every week or as needed to prevent mold growth. The power should be turned off during disinfection to ensure safety.

2. Defrosting: For mold incubators that need to be defrosted, defrost regularly to ensure the normal operation. Be careful not to use sharp objects to scratch during defrosting to avoid damaging the surface of the equipment.

3. Check circuits: Regularly check whether the power cord, plug, etc. are intact. If there is damage or aging, replace them in time to prevent electric shock or fire.

4. Sealing check: Make sure the sealing strip of the incubator door is intact. If there is aging or damage, replace it in time to ensure the stability of the temperature and humidity in the incubator.

5. Calibration: Calibrate the temperature and humidity of the equipment regularly as needed to ensure its accuracy.
