8. Allow the incubator a minimum of four (4) hour to stabilize after reaching the new
temperature.
9. Compare the reference device’s reading with the incubator’s. If the reference device’s and
the incubator’s temperature readings are the same or fall within the range of your
laboratory protocol, the incubator is now calibrated.
10. If the two readings still fall outside your laboratory protocol, repeat steps 5 – 8.
11. If the temperature readings of the incubator and the reference device fall outside your
laboratory protocol after three calibration attempts, contact Sheldon Technical Support

1. Minimize the number of times per day the pass box is cycled.
2. Introduce small individual items such as, sealed micro plates or transport tubes, into the
workspace chamber through the sleeve assemblies.
3. Moving a large number of items through the pass box in one transport will reduce the
volume of AMG used in an auto or manual cycle.
4. When transporting a small number of items through the pass box, placing a large solid
object in the pass box can also help to reduce the volume of gas utilized.
5. Employ proper sleeve techniques when entering and exiting the workspace chamber.
6. Avoid making fast or large movements while working in the chamber. Use a swimming
motion, withdrawing one arm partly into the arm port while reaching in with the other.
