  • Page 16: Preventing Contamination

    PREVENTING CONTAMINATION To prevent contamination of the chamber, select a suitable installation site. Avoid locations with high temperatures or humidity. Avoid locations with high temperatures or humidity, because of a greater presence of microorganisms in the air. Avoid locations with passers-by or drafts. Avoid locations near doors, air conditioners, fans, etc., where passers-by or drafts can facilitate the entry of microorganisms into the chamber.
  • Page 17: Precautions For Cultures

    PRECAUTIONS FOR CULTURES Leave space between culture containers. Always leave space for ventilation between culture containers (Petri dishes, flasks, etc.). Inadequate spacing may result in uneven temperature distribution and CO gas concentration. Do not place harmful materials in the chamber. Never place samples that release acidic, alkali, or corrosive gas in the chamber.
