Instructions for use:

  • GM501 Mineral Oil is a pre-washed ready-to-use oil, so no further preparations are necessary.
  • After pre-incubation (5 hours/37°C) overlay the culture medium with GM501 Mineral Oil until it is completely covered.
  • We recommend preparing the dishes with oil overlay the day before use. If using bicarbonate buffered media incubate the dishes in a CO2 incubator at 37°C to ensure warming and saturation with gas.
  • Any procedures described herein are recommendations only. Each laboratory needs to establish and validate its own procedures for medium preparation and use.

Precautions and warnings:

  • Handle all specimens as if capable of transmitting HIV or hepatitis. Always wear protective clothing when handling specimens.
  • Always work under strict hygienic conditions (e.g. LAF-bench ISO Class 5) to avoid possible contamination.
  • Only for the intended use.
  • The oil may appear cloudy if removed from the incubator and allowed to stand at room temperature for extended periods of time. Such cloudiness usually disappears if the oil is re-equilibrated by replacing it in the incubator for several hours, if it does not disappear discard the product.
