CO2 Incubator Changing the Disk Filters

 

How to Change Disk Filters in NuAire CO₂ Incubators

This video demonstrates how to inspect and replace air and gas disk filters in NuAire CO₂ incubators. Filters should be checked every six months and replaced when discolored or after every fifth gas tank change.

The tutorial covers:

  • Transferring and safeguarding cell cultures before maintenance
  • Safely shutting down the incubator per the user manual
  • Removing the valance to access front-mounted disk filters
  • Inspecting for yellow-brown discoloration
  • Properly installing replacement filters with the inlet side facing the tubing from the top
  • Restoring the valance and doors after replacement
  • Recalibrating gas sensors following filter changes

By following these steps, labs maintain clean airflow, protect cultures, and ensure accurate CO₂ levels for consistent research results.
