N2 Consumption in NU-5800 Series Incubators with O2 Control
This technical bulletin examines nitrogen (N2) consumption across the NU-5800 series CO2 incubators (NU-5831 and NU-5841, 115V and 230V models) equipped with O2 control. Experiments were conducted with CO2 at 5%, RH at 90%, and varying O2 levels (5% and 0.5%) to measure consumption under realistic operating conditions. Results show operational durations ranging from 23 hours to over 3 days with a full N2 tank, influenced by environmental setpoints and door openings. These findings highlight the importance of careful setpoint management and operational strategies to optimize efficiency, reduce resource consumption, and extend tank life. Labs using NU-5800 series incubators can leverage these insights to improve performance and minimize operational costs.

Use of the Anesthetic Gas Isoflurane with a Biosafety Cabinet
The use of anethetic gas, Isoflurane is common in vivariums todya. There are several manufactueres of anesthetic gas systems to both deliver and scavegne the gas for routine surgical procedures. However, if the surgical procedure requires a sterile or contained environment, the procedure will most likley be performanced within a biosafety cabinet (BSC). The use of a BSC for surgical procedures offers HEPA filtered air (99.99% efficient @ 0.3 microns) for sterility. The BSC also offers containment from particulate hazards (bacteria, viruses) and may also offer containment from the anesthic gas itself, depending upon the BSC type and configuration. If gas containment is to be achieved, the BSC must be exhausted either through a hard or canopy connection.
