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.
HUMIDIFYING THE INCUBATOR
Placing a small number of petri dishes or open media containers in the BACTRON for several
weeks may lead to excessive drying of sample media. A small open container such as, a flask, of
500ml of distilled water, set on each shelf of the incubator can help to slow sample drying.
