Connection of CO

2

gas cylinder

WARNING

Check the gas type and ensure that it is fit for the purpose. Make sure that all pipes are

connected correctly and are not liable to become disconnected. Ensure that the gas pressure is

set at the specified value. Improper connection of the gas pipe or use of incorrect gas pressure

may result in leakage of CO

2

gas. Elevated level of CO

2

gas can be hazardous to health and may

lead to asphyxiation and risk of death.

1. Use a liquefied CO

2

gas cylinder, not a siphon (dip tube) type. The CO

2

gas should be 99.5% or more

pure.

2. Install a gas pressure regulator (optional accessory MCO-100L) on the cylinder. Use a regulator

rated at 25 MPaG (250 kgf/cm

2

G, 3600 psiG) on the primary side and 0.2 MPaG (2.0 kgf/cm

2

G, 30 psiG)

on the secondary side.

3. Using the gas supply pipe provided, connect the CO

2

gas pressure regulator to the connecting port for

CO

2

gas pipe located at the rear left side of the CO

2

incubator.

Note:

If CO

2

is supplied to multiple CO

2

incubators from a single gas cylinder, a CO

2

solid will be formed in the

gas pressure regulator. The gas pressure regulator safety valve will operate, and there may an explosive

sound.

When the MCO-21GC is not mounted

Using the gas supply pipe that is provided, connect the CO

2

gas pressure regulator for the CO

2

gas

cylinder to CO

2

gas pipe connection port A on the incubator. After connecting the pipe, check to make

sure that no gas is leaking.

When the MCO-21GC is mounted

Connect a pair of CO

2

gas cylinders with CO

2

gas pressure regulators independently. The gas supply line

will be switched automatically. Connect the main cylinder to port A and the reserve cylinder to port B. After

connecting the cylinders, check to make sure that no gas is leaking.

4. Set the CO

2

pressure on the secondary side to 0.03 MPaG (0.3 kgf/cm

2

G, 4.3 psiG) (at gas injection).

Excessive pressure may cause disconnection of internal pipes inside the CO

2

incubator which will result

in leakage of CO

2

gas into the atmosphere. Elevated level of CO

2

gas can be hazardous to health

and may lead to asphyxiation and risk of death. The repair of the incubator will be necessary if the

internal pipe is disconnected.

4. Check that no gas is leaking at any point where the pipe connects with the CO

2

regulator or the CO

2

incubator.

Note:

The incubator, including the gas supply pipes and services must be examined at frequent intervals to

ensure they are safe. Ensure that items such as pipes are replaced if there is any sign of deterioration.

14

PREVENTING CONTAMINATION

To prevent contamination of the chamber, select an appropriate location for installation as well as the

complete disinfection of the chamber components.

● Avoid hot and humid location

Avoid location with high temperature and/or humidity as the presence of bacteria in the air is greater than

in normal environment.

● Avoid drafty location and location with many passers-by

Avoid locations near doors, air conditioners, fans, etc., where slight breezes can facilitate the entry of

bacteria into the chamber.

● Installation in a sterile room

To get the cultivation more efficiently, install the incubator in a sterile room.

● Use clean containers

The contamination is mainly caused by the containers such as Petri dishes or bottles stored in the

chamber. Always keep the containers clean.

● Always keep the chamber clean

The condensation may be caused on the inside of the door by spilled water form humidifying pan or

opening of outer door for long period. Wipe off the condensation completely with a sterile dry gauze.

Especially when the culture medium is spilled, clean and disinfect the chamber immediately. Refer to

page 27 “Routine maintenance” for details.

● Keep the inside panels dry

To protect the inside of the incubator from contamination, the inside panels should always be kept dry. If

water is spilled from a humidifying pan or if the door is kept open for a long period, condensation will form

on the panels, allowing germs to breed. In such a case, wipe away the water with a dry sterile gauze.

Particularly, if the medium is spilled, wipe it up immediately and sterilize the area.

● Fill the humidifying pan with sterile distilled water

Always use sterile distilled water to fill the pan. The water level alarm lamp (RH PAN) on the control

panel blinks when the water level is low. Refill the sterile distilled water to the pan when the water level

alarm lamp (RH PAN) blinks. Note that when low temperature sterile distilled water is poured, the

chamber temperature drops significantly. Clean the humidifying pan once a month.

● Do not place the incubator in the direct air flow from an air conditioning system

Air from an air conditioning system may cause condensation and lead to possible contamination.

15

PRECAUTIONS FOR CULTURES

● Do not subject to direct air flow

Do not allow the air for air conditioning to hit the incubator or door directly. Direct hit may cause

condensation or contamination.

● Allow adequate space between the cultures

When storing cultures in the chamber, keep the Petri dishes or bottles containing the cultures sufficiently

apart from each other to allow adequate air circulation. Inadequate space may result in uneven

temperature distribution and CO

2

concentration in the chamber.

● Stored materials

Never place acid or alkaline materials or materials that release corrosive gas in the chamber. Such

materials can cause failure resulting from discoloration or corrosion.

● Always shut the inner door

Shut the inner door completely, and then shut the outer door. If the inner door is not closed completely,

even if the outer door is closed, the incubator will fail to exhibit its maximum performance. And close the

doors gently. Rude closing may cause spillage of medium, incomplete closing, or damage of gasket.

● Open/close the doors gently

Ensure you close the doors gently. Robust closing may cause spillage of medium, incomplete closing,

or damage of gasket. Also, before opening the inner door, check that the UV light is OFF

(MCO-18AC(UV) or when an optional UV system kit MCO-18UVS3 is installed).

● Take care of the inside of the outer door.

It may get hot.

● Never lean or press on the glass.

Broken glass due to intentional force may cause injury.

● Alarm

Always investigate the cause and fix the alarm condition immediately when the alarm is activated. Refer

to page 25 for alarm details.

● Fix the tray supports and trays securely

Incomplete installation may cause injury or damage.

16

START-UP OF INCUBATOR

When start the test operation or the operation, follow these steps as below.

1. Install the incubator referring to “INSTALLATION” on page 13.

2. Remove all transportation packaging materials and tapes on the attachments in the chamber. Then

clean and sterilize the chamber and inner attachments. Refer to “Cleaning the chamber and inner

attachments” on page 27.

3. Add approximately 1.5 L of sterile distilled water to the humidifying pan. (Refer to page 30.)

4. Turn ON the power switch on the rear left side.

Note:

The humidity in the incubator chamber is adjusted to the optimum setting. To prevent condensation on

the surface inside chamber and the inner door, there is a low-temperature area under the humidifying pan

in the bottom of chamber to recondense evaporated moisture. Condensation may occur around the

humidifying pan at the bottom of the chamber, but this does not indicate a problem.

17

SETTING THE CHAMBER TEMPERATURE AND CO

2

DENSITY

Table below shows the basic procedure for setting the chamber temperature and CO

2

density. The

upper limit alarm temperature setting is also shown in the table. Perform key operations in the sequence

indicated in the table. The example in the table is based on the assumption that the desired temperature

is 37

o

C and CO

2

density is 5%. Adjustment of the upper limit regulator should be executed after the

chamber temperature reaches the stable condition.

Note:

• The incubator is set at the factory so that the chamber temperature is 37

o

C and CO

2

density is 0%.

• When starting the incubator for the first time or after not using it for an extended period of time, allow at

least 8 hours for the chamber temperature, humidity, and CO

2

sensor to become stable after setting the

desired chamber temperature at 0% CO

2

density. Then change the setting to the desired CO

2

density.
