How do I transfer items using the Whitley Workstation airlock?
AIRLOCK TRANSFER OF ITEMS INTO THE WHITLEY WORKSTATION Most Whitley Workstations incorporating an airlock are used to transfer quantities of petri dishes to and from the main chamber. The airlock uses a transfer tray system to make sample transfer as easy as possible. Dimensions a. With a full length shelf in place in the workstation chamber A tray measuring 295 mm x 295 mm, accommodating up to 90 x 90 mm Petri dishes can be transferred into the chamber. There is also still room for a small amount of loops, swabs etc. b. Without the full length shelf in place in the workstation chamber An object measuring up to 295 mm long x 295 mm deep x 285 mm high can be passed through the airlock. Tall Items The airlock maximum internal height is 350 mm, permitting flasks and other tall items to be transferred into the chamber (even though the inner door opening is only 290 mm high) by tilting the vessel as it passes through the doorway.
