The maintenance and upkeep of oscillation incubators mainly include the following aspects:
1. Daily cleaning: The shaking incubator needs to be kept clean regularly. The exterior can be gently wiped with a damp cloth, avoiding the use of hard objects or chemicals for cleaning. The interior can be wiped with 70% alcohol, but be careful not to apply it to parts such as the control panel and heater. Keep it dry after each use.
2. Correct use:
• Avoid overloading: Use according to the instructions and do not exceed the load range.
• Stable placement: Place on a stable ground to avoid vibration affecting the experimental results.
Environmental requirements: It should be used in a dry and ventilated environment, avoiding direct sunlight or high temperature and humidity.
• Regular disinfection: Use disinfectant or 75% alcohol for wiping to ensure the accuracy of experimental results.
3. Regular inspection and maintenance:
Circuit inspection: Regularly check whether the power cord, plug, socket, etc. have good contact, no damage, and no aging phenomenon. If there is a problem, it should be replaced or repaired in a timely manner.
Transmission system: Check whether the motor, belt, shaker and other components are normal. If there is wear, looseness and other phenomena, they should be adjusted or replaced in a timely manner.
Sealing inspection: Regularly check whether the equipment sealing strips, door buckles, and other components are intact. If there is any damage or aging, they should be replaced in a timely manner.
Heater and filter: Clean the dehumidifier every six months and replace the filter annually to ensure proper ventilation and oxygen collection.
Lubrication maintenance: Regularly apply lubricating oil or grease to ensure the normal operation of the instrument.
