| Liquid forming in the incubation chamber This happens when the mixed-gas humidifier is overfilled. Bubbles created by the gas going through the humidification bring liquid into the gas feed line. - Turn off the Okolab module
- Remove your sample and store it properly
- Dry the incubation chamber with a clean tissue
- Carefully remove the cap of the humidifier glass bottle
Warning |
---|
The humidifier bottle is made of glass and is very fragile. Pay extra care when manipulating the humidifier bottle |
- Remove distilled water from the humidifier
Info |
---|
Humidifier shouldn't be more than 2/3rd filled |
- Close the humidifier by replacing the cap
- Turn on the Okolab module
