Dear Readers, Welcome to the latest issue of Mi
A CO2 incubator is one of the most integral pieces of equipment in a cell biology, cell culture and microbiology laboratory, as it offers the required environment that would enable cells, tissues or organisms to grow. Achieving and maintaining these conditions can be a challenge, however. Even though a CO2 incubator is capable of providing these necessary conditions, failure to properly maintain it can also lead to troublesome outcomes such as the negligence and contamination of the experiments as well as the damage to the incubator.
The temperature, humidity and CO2 of your experiments have to remain untouched. Throughout time, the sensors and the control system are bound to drift leading to inaccuracies, which can alter the growth of cells as well as the results of the experiment.
As a rule of thumb, always address even the smallest deviations so that you prevent major issues down the line which can affect your research.
Besmirchment is a key issue in regards to cell culture activities. It is possible for dust, bacteria, fungi, and other microbes to invade an incubator if proper cleaning protocols are not undertaken. Activities related to routine maintenance such as wiping down shelves, disinfecting the chamber, and changing the filters assist with:
CO2 Incubators are relatively expensive. Regular services help in reducing the wear and tear of perceived issues such as:
Undertaking the right maintenance not only increases the lifespan of your incubator but also minimize expensive repairs or replacements.
It is important to bear in mind that an incubator that is not well treated might consume more energy than is required. To offer a high degree of resilience, for example a clogged HEPA filter or a malfunctioning door seal places excessive strain on the system to retain conditions. Proper maintenance guarantees:
Equipment needing repairs or replacement can throw off your research work schedule causing you to lose time as well as your samples. Routine maintenance makes it possible to:
A lot of laboratories are required to meet certain standards, particularly in the drug and clinical research industries. Maintenance if done in an adequate manner would assist in meeting standards by:
The urge and requirement to reproduce findings like previously made sustainable inventions cannot be overlooked. Unreliable results can arise due to varying environmental factors or contamination of source material disrupting the outcomes. You enable your CO2 incubator to:
Periodic servicing and maintenance of CO2 incubator helps you perform your research with ease having strong confidence over the equipment functioning for the desired time period. Successful completion of the equipment servicing follows in return investment in terms of time and efforts which helps the laboratory environment remain cost effective and favourable for experiments to be performed in. Make maintenance of the equipment a priority as this will set a good standard for research to be conducted.
