Filter Storage and Handling
To properly store interference filters for the ELx800™ microplate reader during extended
periods of non-use, package the filters in a light-tight envelope or container, away from
high humidity. This will ensure the longest life for the filters. When handling the filters,
keep the surfaces clean from fingerprints and debris by simply wiping with a lens tissue or
other lint free cloth.
