S ETTING UP THE BACTRON
Perform the following steps to set up the BACTRON workstation for use:
1. Remove all protective wrappings from accessories and the workstation.
2. Disinfect the workstation to the standards of your laboratory or production
environment protocol. The BACTRON was disinfected at the factory prior to
shipment. However, Sheldon Manufacturing cannot guarantee that the BACTRON
was not exposed to contaminants en route, or that the factory procedure matches the
standards of your institutional protocols. See the
Cleaning procedure in the User
Maintenance section on page 56 for more information about cleaning and disinfecting
the BACTRON. Also see step 3 of this procedure.
3. Clean, disinfect, and place the following items in the workspace chamber:
a. Arm port doors
b. The incubator bottom shelf spacers (BACTRON300 and BACTRON900).
Remove the protective shipping wrappings prior to placing the spacers in
the chamber.
c. The petri dish racks. These can be placed on the top shelf of the
workspace chamber incubator or (BACTRON600) shelves during the
setup.
d. At least five unopened Oxoid brand anaerobic indicator strips.
e. A glass flask or beaker placed under the plastic condensation tube on
the left side of the chamber.
f. One or two 500ml beakers of purified water.
g. Any equipment and other aerobic-tolerant items that you plan on
introducing into the workspace chamber. Doing so now saves time and
AMG usage by eliminating future pass box cycles.
4. Verify that the wall power supply and incubator electrical requirements match (See the
Installation Section, page 12).
5. Do not place a catalyst cartridge in the chamber at this time!
6. Partly open both doors of the workspace chamber incubator (BACTRON300 and
BACTRON900), and the door to the side storage incubator (BACTRON600 and
BACTRON900). Only open the doors by approximately 1 cm (0.5 inches). Failure
to open the doors during the setup will leave reservoirs of aerobic atmosphere after
the workstation’s chamber space has been purged of oxygen. Opening the doors all
the way at the start of the BACTRON setup will cause an incubator heater to
significantly overshoot its set point when the doors are finally closed.
