Shaker is a common instrument and equipment, mainly used for bacterial culture, fermentation, hybridization, biochemical reactions, as well as enzyme and cell tissue culture research. Of course, the significance of shaker is also very broad, and it is divided into industrial shaker and biological shaker. Standardized operation and maintenance are also particularly important
The incubator shaker (or hot shaker) can be considered a mixture of incubator and shaker. It can be shaken while maintaining optimal conditions to cultivate microorganisms or replicate DNA. This device is very useful because in order for cells to grow, it requires shaking of oxygen and nutrients so that they can be evenly distributed around the culture. Mainly including conventional vacuum drying boxes, high-temperature vacuum drying boxes, blast drying boxes, high-temperature ovens, constant temperature and humidity boxes, vertical low-temperature test boxes, three box high and low temperature impact test boxes, electric furnaces and other scientific research instruments, as well as non-standard various box equipment.
Instructions for Safe Operation of Laboratory Shaker
When using a laboratory shaker, please follow the laboratory shaker safety 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 a relative humidity of up to 90%
2、 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 equipment to a power supply with grounding protection installed
5、 Component installation:
The installation of the flask fixture is to fix the base of the fixture to the platform using the correct type and quantity of screws
Standardized operation:
1. When the shaking table is rotating at high speed, in order to avoid large vibration of the instrument, the cultivation reagent bottles should be symmetrically placed on the shaking table, and the cultivation solution in each bottle should be roughly equal.
2. Please firmly fix the sample on the shaking table, ensuring that the sample does not shake violently during operation before leaving.
3. During the sampling process, if any samples are found to be missing (including plugs falling), the main power should be turned off, and debris should be removed as much as possible using tweezers. If necessary, some parts should be disassembled for cleaning. Do not handle them directly with your hands while working on the shaking 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 removing the sample, turn off the power or set the speed to zero.
Maintenance:
1. The surface of the instrument should be frequently scrubbed to maintain cleanliness. When scrubbing, the side of the instrument control box should be avoided to prevent water from dripping into 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 regularly checked for looseness
3. When the shaking table is used for a long time and the instrument malfunctions, it should be repaired by professional maintenance personnel and cannot be easily disassembled.
4. When the shaking table is not in use for a long time, especially during the rainy or humid season, it should be regularly powered on (every 1 month) for operation; 8 hours to remove water adsorbed by electrical components of the equipment.
The above is the editor's introduction to the standardized operation and maintenance of the constant temperature cultivation shaker. I believe that users of our products can have a detailed understanding!Kebao Network 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, medical treatment, inspection and quarantine, etc. 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, and so on. However, in recent years, with people's attention to animal welfare and alternatives, the demand for fetal bovine serum has gradually decreased. 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 substance, plays an important role in biomedical research, drug development, and vaccine production. However, with the development of substitutes and the focus on animal welfare, the demand for fetal bovine serum is gradually decreasing. In the future, scientists will continue to strive to find alternative methods to fetal bovine serum to promote the development and progress of cell culture technology.
