Bionix® EnviroBath™ Chamber 20 Installation
Serum Distribution Assembly
The following illustration shows a typical setup using a serum distribution
system. The illustration uses the EnviroBath 6/10 chamber as an example; the
setup for an EnviroBath 1 chamber would be similar.
Connect the hoses Cut tubing to the appropriate length and push the tubing onto the quick coupling.
Connect the quick coupling connectors to the circulating bath and EnviroBath
chamber connectors.

IMPORTANT OPERATIONAL TIPS :
GRAVITY DRAIN SYSTEM:
TUBING ROUTING FROM UPPER QUICK COUPLING MUST 1.
BE GENERALLY DOWNWARD.
LOWER QUICK COUPLING MUST BE ABOVE RESERVOIR 2.
FOR CHAMBER TO DRAIN COMPLETELY WHEN PUMP IS
SWITCHED OFF.
BEWARE OF OVER FILLING CHAMBER: UNDER STEADY- 3.
STATE CIRCULATION CHAMBER FLUID LEVEL WILL
TYPICALLY BE 2-4 CM (3/4"-1-1/2") ABOVE UPPER QUICK
COUPLING PORT. DO NOT ALLOW IT TO REACH THE
UPPER SURFACE OF THE SAMPLE COMPARTMENT.
THE TUBING PUMP HAS A VARIABLE SPEED SETTING. 4.
DETERMINE A PUMP SPEED WHICH RESULTS IN A SAFE
STEADY-STATE FLUID LEVEL.
DUAL RESERVOIR HEAT EXCHANGER
DUE TO LOSSES THROUGHOUT THE HEAT 5.
EXCHANGE SYSTEM, HEATER SET POINT
TEMPERATURE MAY NEED TO BE 5 C TO 10 C
ABOVE DESIRED TEST FLUID TEMPERATURE.
EXAMPLE: FOR A 37 C TEST FLUID TEMPERATURE
START WITH A HEATER SET POINT OF 47 C. ADJUST
AS NEEDED.
FOR BEST MEASUREMENT ACCURACY MAINTAIN 6.
125MM IMMERSION DEPTH FOR GLASS
THERMOMETER.
PLACE FOAM INSULATION AROUND CARBOY 7.
AND OVER HEATER RESERVOIR TO MINIMIZE HEAT
