Product Description
The G185 is composed of 10 separate culture chambers (2) and one larger warming chamber (3).
The 10 culture chambers are exposed to both heat and gas mixtures while the Dry Bath Chamber is
exposed only to heat.
The gas is constantly cleaned for particles, volatile organic compounds and bacteria by circulation
through a HEPA and VOC filter and through a 254nm UV chamber.
The CO2concentration is monitored by using a CO2sensor and the O2level is monitored by an O2
sensor placed in the gas mixing chamber (built inside the incubator).
Dish Inserts
The chambers should only be fitted with special Dish Inserts (1), that allow safe placement of standard
culture dishes (Falcon, Nunc, Vitrolife).

G185 SensorTech
Section 6 - G185 SensorTech
G185 supports external and independent monitoring of the most critical parameters regarding CO2
concentration, temperature and pH measurement.
External pH Monitoring
This G185 SensorTech has been designed to work with Octax pH online. These parts are available
from MTG GmbH.
A fiber optic cable is built into chamber 1.
The fiber optic cable is attached to a cover plate
on the rear panel.
When this cover plate is removed the fiber optic
cable will follow out. An O-ring in the rear panel
protects the cable from scratching against
metal.
A stopper is mounted on the cable inside to
prevent the cable from being pulled out too far,
thereby breaking the fiber.
A special Dish Insert must be used in the chamber where the pH optical fiber sensor is installed. There
are three different Dish Inserts available depending on the dishes used:
• Dish Insert Nunc pH Online Sensor: Order code: 23060-1
• Dish Insert Falcon pH Online Sensor: Order code: 23061-1
• Dish Insert Vitrolife pH Online Sensor: Order code: 23079

G185 SensorTech
The sensor is placed in the rear part of the filter holder. It measures the gas circulating in the
incubator. The opening is closed by use of a plug as standard.
G185 SensorTech has a hidden hole for a pin-type temperature sensor.
The opening is in the aluminum block on the left side,
between chambers 1 and 2. It is designed for a 3mm
diameter sensor.
The sensor can be used to detect temperature changes in
the G185.
This sensor works as an addition to the sensors inside the
G185 and should not be used for calibration purposes.

Hole for external temperature sensor (Pin Type)
External Temperature and CO2 Monitoring
The CO2sensor recommended is a widely used sensor from Vaisala
(GMP 251). It is a 0-10% high precision IR CO2sensor.
Vaisala offers several devices to support this sensor; both stand-
alone and built-in modules.

Basic Operation
Section 8 - Basic Operation
CAUTION: Do not use the incubator if the alarm system has issued a failure message
and the cause of the failure has not been corrected
It is important that the appropriate dish inserts are selected for the culture dishes used (Falcon, Nunc,
Vitrolife) to ensure there is direct contact between the dish and the heated surface.
Dishes which present no opportunity for an air gap between dish and heated surface can be placed
directly on the heated surface with no need for a dish insert.
The use of dish inserts requires temperature calibration with the dish insert in place (see “Dish Inserts”
on page 12)
1. Place the dish inserts in the chambers and close the lids
2. Wait 30 minutes for the dish inserts to heat up
3. Open the chamber lid
4. Place the culture dish containing gametes or embryos on the dish insert ensuring it is placed
securely in the correct milled grooves
5. Close the lid
6. Note the patient ID as per “Writing pads for chamber lids and penholder” on page 32
