    This document provides instructions for connecting a CO2 tank to an incubator. It recommends using a two-stage regulator to deliver consistent 5psi pressure. The steps are to remove the incubator side panel, turn the power on, and allow it to heat to 37°C. Connect the regulator to the CO2 tank using a fiber washer. Attach tubing from the tank to the incubator inlet using clips. Open the tank and adjust the regulator to 5psi, then open the outlet valve to deliver gas to the incubator. Be sure to follow these steps when changing tanks to avoid blowing off tubing.
