Placing the Specimen

(Figs. 7 to 9)

· If you attempt to place the specimen directly on the specimen holder installed in the main unit, it may drop

inside the main unit.
Be sure to take out the specimen holder and place the specimen on it outside the main unit.

· If the sample falls within the device, pick up the sample with the tweezers made of bamboo or plastic, or the

stick wrapped by the adhesive tape.
If you open the cover, the temperature within the incubator drops. When you replace samples, etc., do so
quickly. After you open the cover, wait for a while to stabilize the temperature within the incubator.
(When the use environment temperature is 25°C and the cover open time is less than 3 minutes, wait for
approx.30 minutes.)

Place a dummy specimen until the internal temperature of the incubator rises to the optimum temperature (35 to
37°C).
When the specimen holder for 35 mm dish is used, place dummy specimens in all of the three positions.
Without specimens placed, the internal temperature of the incubator may become unstable.
