AutoClean the Washer| 81
l Do not try to remove the ultrasonic cleaner! Only BioTek authorized
service personnel should remove the ultrasonic cleaner for maintenance
or repair.
While the program is running, the ultrasonic cleaner will pulse on and off
approximately every ten seconds, and you will hear a periodic hissing sound that
indicates the ultrasonic energy is present.
l Not all 405 TS models are equipped with this feature.
Quick Clean
A the Home screen select Quick>Sonicate Manifold
Take advantage of the 405 TS's "Ultrasonic Advantage" to make sure the manifold
tubes are clean and clog-free.
1. Fill the "Clean Buffer" bottle with detergent or an appropriate solution for your
assay. The 405 TS primes the system with 300 mL/305 mL for CW models and
fills the trough with 93 mL for the sonicator. Buffer Switching models: connect it to
the specified valve.
2. Set the desired duration to soak the tubes and run the sonicator.
3. Fill the "Rinse Buffer" bottle with at least 305 mL of deionized or distilled water
and/or with a wash buffer to leave the instrument primed and ready for use.
Buffer Switching models: connect it to the specified valve.
4. When you're ready, press Start.
Warning! Ultrasonic energy is present in the cleaning reservoir when the
AutoClean program is running. Do not put your fingers in the bath! Ultrasonic
energy can harm human tissue.
l Important! Ensure there is adequate room in the waste bottle and
sufficient volume in the supply bottle before running AutoClean!
Submerge and Shutdown
An overnight/multi-day maintenance option for soaking the tips and turning off the
instrument for overnight and weekend maintenance.
You can soak the 405 TS dispense manifolds by filling the priming troughs and
turning off the instrument after the soak begins. The tubes will soak in the priming
troughs until the instrument is turned on again.
