Routine maintenance and cleaning
About this topic
This topic provides guidelines for cleaning and periodic routine maintenance.
Agilent recommends that you schedule an annual preventative maintenance.
Preventive maintenance is an important part of keeping the Bravo Platform running
smoothly and error free. To schedule the annual preventive maintenance service,
contact Agilent Automation Solutions Technical Support.
To prevent potential injury, always shut down the Bravo Platform before
performing any maintenance procedure.
Cleaning up spills and periodic cleaning
Use only the recommended cleaning materials. Using other cleaning solutions and
materials can cause damage to the device. Do not use abrasive, corrosive
cleaning agents. Do not use metal brushes.
Alcohol and alcohol-based solutions can damage the gripper pads. Use a soft
cloth dampened with water to clean the gripper pads.
Use a clean soft cloth to clean up spills on any part of the device immediately after a
protocol run.
Clean the Bravo Platform weekly or as needed. Use standard laboratory wipes and a
mild detergent or isopropyl alcohol to clean the exterior painted white surfaces and
the metal surfaces of dust, grime, chemical deposits, and other debris.
Also see “Cleaning up after a run” on page 62.
