Eppendorf CO2 Incubator Galaxy® 170 R/170 S

Refill the humidity tray with 1.5 - 2.5 liters of warm (~ 37.0 °C) distilled water. The use of warm water will ensure a rapid return to optimum chamber conditions.;

We recommend routine replacement of the water in the humidity tray, and that you clean the tray at the same time.

If required, you can take a sample of the gas inside the chamber using the CO2 sample port, and check it using a CO2 gas analyzer (see Accessories on p. 63)(see CO2 Sampling with analyzer on p. 52).;

1. Check that the temperature and CO2 levels are reading within specification.

2. Check the reserve pressure in the CO2 cylinder (normally 725 PSI (50 bar) when full). The design of the incubator ensures very low consumption of CO2: during normal working conditions, a typical large cylinder should last approximately 12 months (frequent door openings will deplete the supply more rapidly).

If there is a significant drop at the cylinder pressure of 725 PSI (50 bar), it means that the cylinder is almost empty and should be replaced. Ensuring that there are no leaks at any of the connections will ensure a greater lifetime to the CO2 supply and will help avoid accidentally running out of CO2.

3. Any spills in the chamber should be cleaned immediately.

4. Check the DATALOGGER screen for any alarms or events that may have occurred overnight.;
