Shaking table is a common instrument and equipment, mainly used for bacterial culture, fermentation, hybridization, biochemical reactions, enzyme and cell tissue culture research. Of course, the significance of shaking table is also very broad, it is divided into industrial shaking table and biological shaking table. Standardized operation and maintenance are also particularly important.
A incubator shaker (or hot shaker) can be considered a mixture of an incubator and a shaker. It can shake while maintaining optimal conditions for cultivating microorganisms or DNA replication. This device is very useful because in order to promote cell growth, it requires shaken oxygen and nutrients so that they can be evenly distributed around the culture. Mainly including conventional vacuum drying oven, high temperature vacuum drying oven, blast drying oven, high temperature oven, constant temperature and humidity oven, vertical low temperature test chamber, three box high and low temperature impact test chamber, electric furnace and other scientific research instruments, as well as non-standard customized box equipment.
Guidelines for Safe Operation of Laboratory Shakers
When using a laboratory shaker, please follow the safety operation instructions before, during, and after installation to avoid unnecessary equipment malfunctions. For the safe operation of the equipment, please also follow the following requirements:
1、 Usage environment:
Please ensure that the indoor temperature range is within 18 ℃? Between 34 ℃ and with a relative humidity of up to 90%
2、 Position placement:
Please place the shaker on a horizontal table or workbench that can support the weight of the shaker and all related components
3、 Equipment leveling:
Properly level the equipment by placing the bubble level on the drive bearing housing at the top of the center
4、 Power supply voltage:
Please confirm that the local power supply voltage meets the requirements before use. It is recommended to connect the device to a power supply with installed grounding protection
5、 Component installation:
The installation of the flask fixture is to fix the base of the fixture to the platform by using the correct type and quantity of screws
Standardized operation:
1. When the shaking table rotates at high speed, in order to avoid large vibrations of the instrument, the culture reagent bottles should be symmetrically placed on the shaking table, and the culture medium in each bottle should be roughly equal.
2. Please firmly fix the sample on the shaker and ensure that the sample does not shake violently when the shaker is working before leaving.
3. During the sampling process, if any samples are found to be missing (including plugs falling off), the main power should be turned off, and tweezers should be used as much as possible to remove debris. If necessary, some parts should be disassembled for cleaning. Do not handle them directly by hand while shaking the table.
4. It is forbidden to put the pipe rack made of plastic foam into the shaker to prevent foam particles from being sucked into the fan shaft, causing the fan to overheat and burn!
5. When taking out the sample, turn off the power or set the speed to zero.
Maintenance and upkeep:
1. The surface of the instrument should be cleaned regularly to maintain cleanliness, and the side of the instrument control box should be avoided during cleaning to prevent water droplets from entering the instrument and damaging it.
2. When the instrument is frequently used, an appropriate amount of lubricating grease should be added every few months, and the fuse box, control components, and fastening screws of the instrument should be checked regularly for looseness.
3. When the shaking table malfunctions after long-term use, it should be repaired by professional maintenance personnel and cannot be easily disassembled.
4. When the shaker is not in use for a long time, especially during rainy or humid seasons, it should be powered on regularly (every month) for 5-8 hours to remove the moisture adsorbed by the electrical components of the equipment.
The above is the editor's introduction to the standardized operation and maintenance of the constant temperature cultivation shaker. We believe that users who use our product can have a detailed understanding! Kebao.com is a comprehensive company dedicated to scientific research procurement. General scientific instruments are widely used in various fields such as life sciences, chemistry, food, materials, medicine, inspection and quarantine. At present, nearly a hundred models of products have been formed covering multiple fields such as sample mixing, sample preparation, temperature control, vessel cleaning, experimental safety, etc. However, in recent years, with people's attention to animal welfare and alternatives, the demand for fetal bovine serum is gradually decreasing. On the one hand, the traditional process of preparing fetal bovine serum causes a certain degree of harm to the bovine fetus. On the other hand, the development of biotechnology has made it possible to develop artificial synthesis and alternatives. Currently, scientists are working hard to find alternative methods to fetal bovine serum to reduce dependence on animals and improve the sustainability and stability of cell culture. In summary, fetal bovine serum, as an important cell culture material, plays a crucial role in biomedical research, drug development, and vaccine production. However, with the development of alternatives and increasing attention to animal welfare, the demand for fetal bovine serum is gradually decreasing. In the future, scientists will continue to work hard to find alternatives to fetal bovine serum to promote the development and progress of cell culture technology.
