To Do

  • Incubator/Shaker

Innova 4300

  • I need to get with Joe/Mike/Dan to try to remove the plate in the shaker
  • If/when that is done, I need to remove the racks (for possible re-use of plate) and then clean out the entire chamber (lots of rust and scale and other nasty things in there)
  • We got the instructions manual and it only mentions cleaning the outside and the glass window
  • I suppose that a damp towel or paper towel (no detergent) will be ok
  • Thanks Joe and Mike for getting out the plate
    • The bolts just had surface rust and they recommend using some penetrating oil or anti-seize to make the changing better
  • I will run a cloth through there and try to pick up as much as I can
  • If needed, I can use some 1% Alconox solution to clean up the tougher stuff, then wipe it dry
  • The plate will not be replaced until the very end. We dont know if a new one is needed or if we will recycle the current one
    • Either way, new flask mounts will be needed and that would require the plate to be out to install
      • We also need some standard allen wrenches 7/32 (as ours are metric) to get it in there properly
  • The boxes from the plate have been removed and are sitting on the table out in the chase
    • Koch mentioned that they should be saved as someone might want them (Osinski?)
  • The plate itself has the 4 mounting holes in the middle and then some smaller ones on the outer border where the boxes were mounted
    • Those outer holes were "Jimmy Rigged". I dont know if we can mount flask holders on this plate, but I suppose we can machine it
  • The inside has been wiped clean with paper towels and water.
  • I am letting it dry out before I turn it on to test the temperature settings

Temp Tests

  • Started the incubator's heater at 3:30pm, set it to 37C
    • The current reading by the probe is 20C and the display says 24C
  • The instructions state that the temperature setting is for degrees above ambient
    • Something to look into once it heats up
  • So it turns out that it was not heating up and that we needed for the spinning to be on to get the heater going.
    • Its been ~5mins since we turned it on and the heat is at ~90% of the set value
