Cytomat 6001 problems
I have got some problems with a cytomat 6001 CO2 incubator. Problem 1: It burns through a K sized CO2 cylinder every 10 days. Problem 2: he digital output display for CO2 concentration drops to -10% upon opening the door (normally at 5%). Any ideas?

Hey ndobbo,
For your first problem, have you checked the connection between your tank and cytomat? Especially for the one in our lab, the connection isn't that great, so we fortified it with a ziptie so that less CO2 is released into the air.
For your second problem, I have never seen mine go into negative numbers for CO2. Would this mean that excess air is being pushed into the cytomat? Maybe the ventilation system is pointed directly towards your Cytomat --just a thought.
