What should I do if the mold incubator is contaminated?

The mold incubator is composed of a box, a disinfection ultraviolet lamp, a heater, a circulating fan, a temperature sensor, an intelligent thermostat, a humidity sensor, a humidifier, a refrigerator, and an over-temperature protector
.

According to the needs of users, the temperature and humidity in the box can be kept at a certain value
.

It can be used for mold culture, microbial culture, physical property detection of objects, feeding of insects and small animals, germination of plants, storage of biological products, storage of blood and chemicals
.

These culture experiments need to be done in a clean environment
.

Therefore, it is necessary to avoid contamination of the incubator, but what if the incubator is contaminated? Let's learn how to deal with them
.


Treatment method for mold incubator pollution: 1.
Wipe with 75% alcohol or 84 disinfectant
.


2.
Scrub with 70% ethanol, then with 0.
1% Bromogeramine
.

If you are not at ease, use it and formaldehyde 1: ratio and pump it again
.


The second method of treatment of mold incubator pollution: 1.
Move the medium inside to another incubator for cultivation, and then verify the settled bacteria in the mold incubator
.

Use mold and colony plates to determine if the incubator is contaminated
.


2.
If the incubator is indeed contaminated, it can be directly disinfected with ultraviolet light or fumigation in the incubator (each layer and corner of the incubator are placed separately) until the bacteria deposited are qualified
.


3.
The later requirements stipulate that the incubator should be disinfected with 75% alcohol every week or half a month
.


Knowing how to maintain equipment is as important as how it is used
.

In addition, in laboratory management, the maintenance of equipment should be standardized to ensure that these incubator equipment can operate normally and meet the needs of various experiments
