USER MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED)
D ISINFECTING
Disinfect the BACTRONEZ on a regular basis. Perform the following steps to disinfect the
workstation:
1. Turn the unit off. Open all doors and carryout your laboratory or production space
disinfection protocol.
2. After completion of your institutional protocol, allow all disinfectants to evaporate
completely. Wipe down all surfaces, except the acrylic glass panels, with distilled water and
Zephiran until the unit no longer has a volatile odor. Use nonabrasive wipes.
3. Remove all of the interior parts (shelves, racks, and any additional items) from the
incubators. Disinfect the workstation, including all corners, the incubator interiors, and the
pass box, using a suitable disinfectant. Take special care when cleaning around the pass
box door and arm port door gaskets so as not to impair the positive seal.
4. Disinfect the BACTRONEZ using commercially available disinfectants that are non-
corrosive, non-abrasive, and suitable for use on stainless steel surfaces. Contact your local
Site Safety Officer for detailed information on the proper disinfectants suitable for your
applications.
5. Do not use overtly volatile disinfecting agents. Chlorines, amphyls, and quaternary
ammonias will evaporate into the chamber environment. Over time the concentration in the
chamber atmosphere will continue to increase, potentially leading to inhibited growth,
reproduction, or metabolic symptoms in sample populations.
