4. Insertion of Sample Holder into Chamber
Sample holders fit into the chamber base and are held in place by magnets embedded within both chamber and hold-
er. To introduce a sample holder with the proper orientation, match the red dot on the holder to the one on the
chamber base, as illustrated in Figure 4.
Insert the adapter by
superimposing the red points

5. Working with 35 or 60 mm Petri Dish –Spacing Rings and
Magnetic Locks
Magnetic locks prevent movement of 35 and 60 mm dishes inside the sample holder.
Figure 5 illustrates the available magnetic locks for 35 and 60 mm dishes. Threaded magnetic posts allow adjusting
holder’s height.

NOTE: Magnetic locks are included with sample holder.
Spacing rings accounting for variability in dish diameter from one manufacturer to another are also included. Figure 6
shows how to position the ring. Ring selection guide diagrams: rings for 35 and 60 mm dish -Figure 7 and Figure 8, re-

7. Connection of the Gas Supply
A single silicon tubing carries output gas from the Okolab Gas Controller to the H201-MINI. Silicon tubing connects to a
gas input - brass opening - located on a corner of the H201-MINI. See Figure 11. Connect by gently pushing silicon tub-
ing onto brass opening.

8. Working with Perfusion
The Chamber H201-MINI features 12 perfusion holes on the sides for the insertion of perfusion tubing up to 2.5 mm in
outer diameter. Small screws plug the perfusion holes when not in use. (screws plug M3x3 THD). Remove small screws
plug as necessary before introducing perfusion tubing.
Figure 12 shows location of perfusion holes.

9. Connection of the Chamber with XY stage
H201-MINI fits on the XY Stage without any screws. To fix the chamber on the stage, follow the steps shown in Figure
13.
1. Place the chamber on the stage (See Image 1 of Figure 13).
2. Tilt the chamber and slide it towards the spring until it snaps in place. (See Image 2 of Figure 13).
3. Image 3 of Figure 13 shows the chamber installed on the XY Stage.
