To Do
Innova 4300
- I need to get with Joe/Mike/Dan to try to remove the plate in the shaker
- If/when that is done, I need to remove the racks (for possible re-use of plate) and then clean out the entire chamber (lots of rust and scale and other nasty things in there)
- We got the instructions manual and it only mentions cleaning the outside and the glass window
- I suppose that a damp towel or paper towel (no detergent) will be ok
- Thanks Joe and Mike for getting out the plate
- The bolts just had surface rust and they recommend using some penetrating oil or anti-seize to make the changing better
- I will run a cloth through there and try to pick up as much as I can
- If needed, I can use some 1% Alconox solution to clean up the tougher stuff, then wipe it dry
- The plate will not be replaced until the very end. We dont know if a new one is needed or if we will recycle the current one
- Either way, new flask mounts will be needed and that would require the plate to be out to install
- We also need some standard allen wrenches 7/32 (as ours are metric) to get it in there properly
- The boxes from the plate have been removed and are sitting on the table out in the chase
- Koch mentioned that they should be saved as someone might want them (Osinski?)
- The plate itself has the 4 mounting holes in the middle and then some smaller ones on the outer border where the boxes were mounted
- Those outer holes were "Jimmy Rigged". I dont know if we can mount flask holders on this plate, but I suppose we can machine it
- The inside has been wiped clean with paper towels and water.
- I am letting it dry out before I turn it on to test the temperature settings
=Temp Tests
- Started the incubator's heater at 3:30pm, set it to 37C
- The current reading by the probe is 20C and the display says 24C
