Kit contents
The GasPack kit comprises of six (3) mini-CO2 cartridges
Installation
Load gas cartridge into system
- Turn the CultureON 100 system to access the cartridge port at the back and prepare to use a single mini CO2-cartridge
- Familiarize yourself with the cartridge and port thread engagements required
- Center the cartridge into the port and start twisting slowing to ensure smooth thread engagement
- Keep twisting till there is some resistance just before the seal is punctured. When the seal is punctured, quickly keep twisting till the cartridge is snugly in place and finger tight.
- Note - Do not over-tighten with any tools (such as wrenches etc.) or with excessive force
- Let go of cartridge, which should remain in place snugly and with no gas leaking noise.
Usage
Compatibility with systems
The GasPack cartridges are compatible with the CultureON 100 system
Frequency of kit usage
When the incubator system is not in use, it is best to leave the cartridge in place. DO NOT remove a cartridge that is full, without proper precaution or if the system provides a mechanical or software modality to do so.
When the incubator system is in regular use, replace the cartridge whenever the system notifies of low gas concentration (display or sound beep)
Discard used components
All cartridges are made of recyclable steel
Troubleshooting
Cartridge does not fit in the cartridge port
Confirm that the cartridge being used is compatible with the system in use (See Usage information above)

Gas levels do not increase on installation
Confirm that the cartridge is fully inserted into the port by slowing twisting some more to confirm seal breakage and gas flow from cartridge into the system.
Confirm that the incubator is properly closed and there are no obstructions
Confirm that the system settings for gas set-point is correct and have not been modified.
