72 Agilent 2200 TapeStation System - User Manual
5 Maintenance
General Information
General Information
For continuous reliable operation, the 2200 TapeStation system requires a
defined set of Preventative Maintenance (PM) operations to be performed
every 16000 samples or on an annual basis. This maintenance must be
performed by a trained Agilent Field Service Engineer and can be
scheduled by contacting your local Agilent Service representative.
During the PM the following components within the 2200 TapeStation
system will be replaced:
• Fan filters
• Piercing Needles
• Electrophoresis Probes
The instruments tip sensor will also be re- adjusted, all moving axes will
be lubricated, optics cleaned, and any foreign objects will be removed.
In addition to the Annual Preventative Maintenance service, users with a
high throughput of samples are required to perform a Needle Change
procedure every 8320 samples. This simple procedure is explained in
“Changing the Needle” on page 73, and can be performed by the end user
with the aid of a disposable cartridge.
Users who wish to check the function of their 2200 TapeStation
instrument between PM services can perform a check using the
TapeStation Test Tape, as described in “TapeStation Test Tape” on
page 78.
