Perform a background calibration.
†
† You can perform a background calibration to check for contamination. If any parts of the optics are replaced or moved, you must run an ROI calibration,
a background calibration, a uniformity calibration, a dye calibration, a normalization calibration, and an RNase P instrument verification run.
Run disk cleanup and disk defragmentation.
Semi-annually (6 Months) Check the lamp status. If necessary, replace the tungsten halogen lamp.
Perform a regions of interest (ROI) calibration.
Perform a background calibration.
Perform an uniformity calibration.
Perform a dye calibration.
Perform a normalization calibration.
Perform an RNase P instrument verification run.
As needed Decontaminate the instrument.
