Why does my Biotek Laboratory Equipment produce an error related to lubricant?
To avoid instrument errors with Biotek Laboratory Equipment, do not apply lubricants to the microplate carrier or carrier track.
How to prevent electrical shock with Biotek Laboratory Equipment?
To prevent electrical shock and fire hazards with Biotek Laboratory Equipment, ensure the instrument’s power supply or power cord is connected to a power receptacle that provides voltage and current within the specified rating for the system.
What happens if I incorrectly connect the power supply to my Biotek Laboratory Equipment?
To prevent damage to internal components of Biotek Laboratory Equipment, do not plug an external 24-VDC power supply into the 405 TS’s port, as it will permanently damage internal components. Note that the waste sensor port on the back of the 405 TS is the same type as the 24-VDC power connector on the back of the BioStack, but using it incorrectly can cause damage.
What to do if I spill liquid on my Biotek Laboratory Equipment?
To prevent potential shock hazards or instrument damage from liquid spills on Biotek Laboratory Equipment, avoid spilling liquids on the instrument and wipe up all spills immediately.
How to protect Biotek Laboratory Equipment from sodium hypochlorite?
To prevent damage to Biotek Laboratory Equipment from sodium hypochlorite exposure, do not expose any part of the instrument to the recommended diluted sodium hypochlorite solution (bleach) for more than 20 minutes.
How to avoid erroneous test data with Biotek Laboratory Equipment?
To avoid erroneous test data from Biotek Laboratory Equipment, the operator must follow the manufacturer’s assay package insert when modifying software parameters and establishing washing or dispensing methods.
Why is my Biotek Laboratory Equipment's performance compromised over time?
To prevent performance compromise over time with Biotek Laboratory Equipment, especially when using solutions containing proteins like bovine serum albumin (BSA), adhere to a strict maintenance protocol.
How to prevent corrosion in Biotek Laboratory Equipment?
To prevent corrosion of parts in Biotek Laboratory Equipment, make sure that any spilled buffer solution is wiped off the instrument.
