60 | Chapter 4: Maintenance
Overview
Maintenance comprises a set of procedures to be performed regularly to maintain
equipment in top condition. During normal operation, debris and dust from plate
wear can accumulate on the microplate stacks, carrier surface, and other plate
transport components.
Regular maintenance of the BioStack is the responsibility of the user and is required
for continuous problem-free operation. Adherence to the Recommended
Maintenance Schedule below reduces problems caused by dust and debris,
maximizes running time, and extends the life of the BioStack.
