OPERATION THEORY OF OPERATION AND MAJOR COMPONENT FUNCTIONS Achieving Anaerobic Conditions Hydrogen No Oxygen Positive Pressure Active Catalyst Figure 6: Atmosphere Control Measures The BACTRON workstation is designed to establish and maintain a strict anaerobic environment suitable for the cultivation of clinical anaerobic bacteria.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) Accessing the Workstation Items such as media containers and laboratory equipment can be introduced to or removed from the BACTRON’s anaerobic environment through the pass box. The pass box creates a near anaerobic environment through three cyclic applications of the BACTRON’s vacuum pump to reduce air volume in the pass box, followed by gas replenishment injections.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) The Over Temperature Limit System The OTL is a mechanical heating control backup system included with each incubator, and which operates independently of the incubator’s digital temperature controller board. The OTL is intended to be set to approximately 1°C above the user-selected temperature set point stored in digital controller board. The OTL prevents runaway heating in the event that the main controller fails while in its heating mode.
OPERATION (CONTINUED). SETTING UP THE BACTRON Perform the following steps to set up the BACTRON workstation for use: 1. Remove all protective wrappings from accessories and the workstation. 2. Disinfect the workstation to the standards of your laboratory or production environment protocol. The BACTRON was disinfected at the factory prior to shipment.
OPERATION (CONTINUED). 7. Perform the following procedures to setup the unit for use.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) Figure 12: Gas and Vacuum Ports SET UP THE GAS SUPPLY See the Gas Source entry in the Installation section on page 14 for Sheldon Manufacturing’s recommended gas applications. 1. Install the gas regulator or regulators on the compressed gas cylinders you will be using. 2. The regulators should be set to 15 to 20 psi. Please see the Pressure Unit Conversion table in the Operation Section for working with units other than Pounds per Square Inch.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) SINGLE GAS CONNECTION Follow these steps to connect a single cylinder of anaerobic mixed gas. 1. Locate the T-shaped brass fitting included with the BACTRON’s AMG gas regulator (normally shipped in the regulator box). GAS 1 IN GAS 2 IN AMG Figure 14: T-Fitting AMG Figure 15: Single Gas Connections 2. Using the attached short lengths of black OD tubing, connect the fitting to the GAS 1 IN and GAS 2 IN ports on the top left side of the BACTRON. See figure 13 on the previous page.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) CONNECTING TO AN IN-HOUSE VACUUM SYSTEM Carry out this procedure to connect the BACTRON to an in-house vacuum system. An in-house system must be capable of evacuating a minimum of 25 inches (63.5 cm) of mercury. 1. Connect a 3/8 inch hose from the in-house system to the VAC IN port on the back, on the right side of the BACTRON. CONNECTING THE VACUUM PUMP Use this procedure to connect the vacuum pump included with the BACTRON. 1.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) CONNECTING THE FOOT PEDAL ASSEMBLY 1. Place the foot pedal assembly on the floor below the arm port doors. 2. Locate the center line on the back of the foot pedal assembly. 3. Connect the branching lines from the center line’s T-fitting to the two brass barb adaptor fittings on the inner sides of the arm port door assemblies. See figure below. Figure 20: Foot Pedal Line Connection with the Arm Port Door Assemblies 4.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) SHELVING INSTALLATION BACTRON300 AND BACTRON900 Install the three (3) metal bottom spacers included with the BACTRON600 and 900 on the bottom shelf of the workspace chamber incubator. These spacers shield sample containers from direct contact with the warm surface of the incubator, and ensure heat dissipation and uniformity. 1. Set the spacers on the bottom shelf of the workspace chamber incubator, side by side, with the “SPACER” label facing outwards toward you. 2.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) ESTABLISHING AN ANAEROBIC ENVIRONMENT Carry out the following steps to purge the aerobic atmosphere from the workstation and establish an anaerobic environment. If the BACTRON has previously been in use, remove the right arm port sleeve prior to starting the procedure. This procedure requires approximately 1 to 4 hours to complete. 1. Verify the following: a. The interior and exterior pass box doors are closed and secured. b.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) Establishing an Anaerobic Environment Continued Note: If you have opened the left armor port door to install the catalyst, reinstall and secure the door now. Leaving the left arm port unsecured may cause AMG to “stream” through the chamber directly to the door, rather than building up and pushing out aerobic atmosphere, from the left side of the chamber to the right. 8. Reinstall the right arm port door and secure it.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) INSTALLING THE SLEEVE ASSEMBLIES Prior to verifying the achievement of an anaerobic atmosphere, install the arm sleeve assemblies in order to access the chamber without introducing oxygen. Start with either side. 1. Unroll the large opening of a sleeve over the plastic lips of the arm port door opening. The sleeve should at least stretch to the base of the barb adaptor. 2. Secure the sleeve to the arm port using the 48 inch (121cm) self-griping strap included with the sleeve assembly.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) CHAMBER ENTRY Perform these steps to access and work in the workspace chamber without drawing in aerobic atmosphere. See the Exiting the Chamber procedure on page 39 for how to withdraw your arms from the chamber and sleeve assembly without compromising the anaerobic atmosphere. 1. Remove watches, bracelets, large rings, and any sharp objects that might damage the cuffs or sleeves. 2.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) VERIFYING AN ANAEROBIC ATMOSPHERE This procedure verifies that an anaerobic atmosphere has been established prior to placing anaerobe samples in the workstation. 1. After entering the workspace chamber, open one (1) of the Oxoid brand anaerobic indicator strip packages. a. Do not touch the indicator strip. Doing so risks contaminating the strip and creating a false positive. b.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) TROUBLESHOOTING THE PRESENCE OF OXYGEN 1. Verify that proper sleeve donning, entry, and exiting procedures have been used 2. Check if closed containers are being introduced through the pass box. Closed containers can hold significant volumes of oxygen. 3. Seek to reduce amount of daily pass box usage. 4. Make sure that the arm port doors and sleeve assemblies are correctly installed. 5. Verify that the manometer is filled to the fill line with water. 6.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) EXITING THE CHAMBER The following steps are used to exit the chamber without pulling in aerobic atmosphere. 1. Check that the exterior and interior pass box doors are both closed and secured, to avoid drawing aerobic atmosphere through the pass box. 2. Depress the GAS foot pedal (left) for one or two seconds. Charging the sleeves with gas will help prevent them from constricting while withdrawing from the chamber. 3.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) SETTING THE INCUBATOR TEMPERATURE 1. Using a coin or other flat metal implement, turn the Over Temperature Limit control dial clockwise to the maximum position indicated by the largest dot. This prevents the Over Temperature Limit System from interfering with setting a new temperature for the incubator. 2. Press either the Up or Down key one time on the Temperature Control sub-panel to activate the temperature set point mode. 3.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) OPERATING THE PASS BOX The pass box is used to introduce items into or remove items from the workspace chamber. Automatic Cycle 1. Make sure the inner pass box door is closed and secured. 2. Open the outer pass box door. If not already on, the Pass Box Aerobic light will illuminate, indicating that the pass box has been exposed to the aerobic atmosphere of the room. 3. Load the pass box slider shelf with items to be introduced in the workspace chamber. 4.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) Manual Cycle The manual cycle is intended as a backup for use in the event the auto cycle is not functioning. 1. Verify that the inner pass box door is closed and secured. 2. Open the outer pass box door. The Pass Box Aerobic Light will illuminate, indicating that the pass box chamber has been exposed to the aerobic atmosphere of the room. 3. Load the pass box slider shelf with items to be introduced into the workspace chamber. 4. Close and secure the outer door.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) LOADING THE WORKSTATION Sheldon Manufacturing recommends waiting 24 hours after establishing an anaerobic atmosphere before loading samples into the unit. Airtight containers can introduce significant amounts of oxygen into the anaerobic environment of the BACTRON. Whenever possible, closed containers placed in the pass box should be loosecapped or ventilated to allow the pass box cycles to draw oxygen from the containers.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) REACTIVATING THE CATALYST CARTRIDGE An active catalyst cartridge must be installed to maintain anaerobic conditions. A spare cartridge is provided with each BACTRON so that cartridges can be swapped out for reactivation. For optimum performance, reactivate a catalyst cartridge after every 24 hours of use. To reactivate a cartridge, perform the following: 1. Heat the catalyst cartridge at 200°C overnight prior to installing in the BACTRON. a.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) CALIBRATE THE INCUBATOR TEMPERATURE DISPLAY Temperature calibrations are performed periodically to ensure that the control panel temperature display matches the actual temperature inside a BACTRON incubator. Each BACTRON incubator is calibrated at the factory to 37°C. Calibrate as often as required by your laboratory or production protocols, or regulatory requirements.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) 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.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) ACTIVATED CHARCOAL SCRUBBER AND REJUVENATION CYCLE An activated charcoal scrubber can be placed in the workspace chamber to absorb volatile fatty acids (VFAs) or volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) produced by sample cultivation. This helps keep the workstation interior clean and maintains catalyst endurance when running cultivation processes or applications that produce large amounts of VFAs or VSCs.
OPERATION (CONTINUED) DEIONIZED AND DISTILLED WATER Note: Do not use deionized water for cleaning or humidifying your incubator. Use of deionized water may corrode metal surfaces and will void your warranty. Sheldon Manufacturing recommends the use of distilled water in the resistance range of 50K Ohm/cm to 1M Ohm/cm, or a conductivity range of 20.0 uS/cm to 1.0 uS/cm, for cleaning and humidifying applications.

USER MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) DAILY MAINTENANCE 1. Exchange the catalyst cartridge with a reactivated one. 2. Remove and empty the condensate collection container as needed. 3. Change the anaerobic indicator strip at least once per 24 hours, or as often as necessary so that the indicating strip in the workspace chamber remains moist. 4. Visually inspect that the pass box gaskets are properly seated. 5.
USER MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) LEAK DIAGNOSIS – UNIT FULL Perform this leak check procedure for a unit that is in use and that cannot be powered off or otherwise taken out of operation. 1. Read the Normal Gas Consumption section on the previous page prior to performing a leak diagnosis. 2. Record the gas cylinder gauge level at the end of the workday. Note the gauge level next morning. This is done to help establish a loss level for while the BACTRON is undisturbed.
USER MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) LEAK CHECK – EMPTY UNIT Use this procedure to verify the atmospheric integrity of a BACTRON that is not in use, or that can be taken out of operation. Read the Normal Gas Consumption section on page 51 prior to performing a leak check. 1. Remove the catalyst cartridge from the BACTRON. The catalytic production of water vapor reduces the volume of atmosphere in the chamber, and will interfere with performing an accurate leak check. 2.
USER MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) 11. A gas leak detector capable of detecting hydrogen (Part Number 4600501) can be used to find leaks along the edges of acrylic glass front panel, arm port doors, outer airlock door, back panel, and side incubator in the BACTRON600 and 900. Note: Some hydrogen gas will naturally diffuse through the water-filled manometer.
USER MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) REPLACING THE SLEEVE CUFFS A sleeve cuff should be replaced if it shows signs of brittleness or dryness, or if cracks are visible. Standard Sleeve Cuff (4 Inches / 10cm) Remove the sleeve cuff by performing the following. 1. Remove the black O-ring located on the outside of the sleeve assembly, around the cuff. Gently roll the ring off to avoid damaging it or the sleeve. 2. Slowly and gently remove the sleeve-cuff and its sleeve cuff-ring from the sleeve. 3.
USER MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) Warning: Disconnect the power cord from the wall power supply prior to cleaning or disinfecting the BACTRON. Avertissement: Avant d'effectuer toute entretien de cet appareil, débrancher le cordon secteur de la source d'alimentation. If a hazardous material/substance has spilled in the BACTRON, immediately initiate your site’s Hazardous Material Spill Containment protocol. Contact your local Site Safety Officer and follow instructions per the site policy and procedures.
USER MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) DISINFECTING Disinfect the BACTRON on a regular basis. Perform the following steps to disinfect the workstation: 1. Turn the unit off. Open all doors and carryout your laboratory, clinical, or production space disinfection protocol. 2. If possible, remove all interior accessories (shelves, racks, and other non-attached items) from the incubators when disinfecting. Disinfect all corners, the incubator interior(s), and the pass box.
USER MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) MAINTAINING THE ACRYLIC GLASS PANELS Sheldon Manufacturing recommends using Novus brand acrylic glass cleaner and scratch remover for cleaning and maintaining the BACTRON’s acrylic glass surfaces. Please see the Accessories section on page 65. Alcohol or alcohol-based solvents and other aggressive solvents should never be used to clean the BACTRON, and may damage the acrylic glass panels Never expose the BACTRON to sustained UV light.
USER MAINTENANCE (CONTINUED) CONDENSATION AND THE DEW POINT Relative humidity inside the BACTRON should never exceed 80% at 25°C. Exceeding this threshold will likely result in condensation on incubator and workspace surfaces. Condensation will appear wherever the humidity level in the chamber reaches the dew point. The dew point is the level of humidity at which the air cannot hold more water vapor. The warmer the air, the more water vapor it can hold.
