Hi all, So I am in the process of moving into a new lab. As everyone does I come in with pre-conceived ideas about how to do things and obviously everyone does things differently but I am genuinely concerned about their CO2 incubator. It is almost ENTIRELY rust on the inside. Its very smooth so there's no flaking but I'm concerned that it's so rusty. My questions are as follows: a) is rust bad in a cell culture incubator? I assume yes but I've genuinely never seen it before so I couldn't really say... b) how would you get rid of it without making the incubator permanently toxic? There is no second incubator running with the same gases at the moment so the rust would have to be cleaned a shelf at a time so anything that lingered on the shelves might affect the cells. Any thoughts? Y.
