Maintenance of the Electrode Cartridge
How to Clean the Pin Set of the Electrode Cartridge
9 Let the pin set completely dry in a desiccator overnight or use oil-free
compressed air.
10 Place the pin set on the cartridge base and the bayonet cover over the pin
set, see Figure 3 on page 129.
11 Lock the pin set to the electrode base by turning the plastic lever of the
bayonet cover to the right, see Figure 2 on page 128.
12 Slide the electrode cartridge with the pin set into the 2100 Bioanalyzer
instrument lid as shown in Figure 1 on page 127 and move the metal lever
to the flat (closed) position.
13 Push the metal front of the electrode cartridge to ensure a tight connection
to the 2100 Bioanalyzer instrument, see Figure 1 on page 127.
14 To verify that the electrodes are completely dry, perform the Short circuit
diagnostic test from the Diagnostics tab in the Instrument context. This test
takes approximately three minutes.
15 If the short circuit test fails, the electrode assembly may still be wet. Take
the pin set out of the instrument, dry it with oil-free compressed air, then
repeat the test.
Damage of electrode cartridge
Heat can permanently damage the electrode cartridge.
