3.2 User Maintenance
3.2.1 Maintenance Schedule
The user is expected to perform a number of tasks on a periodic basis.
On a Daily Basis:
1 Verify that the self-test passes. The tests are automatically carried out when
the system is started. The test results can be printed using the Print command
on the File menu. It is recommended that the daily test reports are printed or
stored on a daily basis for review at a later date (i.e., to assist in
troubleshooting).
2 Empty and clean the Waste Tip Container.
Note: If desired, the Waste Tip Container and the Liquid Waste Container
can be disinfected with a 10% (v/v) solution of household bleach in water or
70% ethanol. If bleach is used, the containers must be thoroughly rinsed
with deionized water before replacing them in the system as residual
bleach fumes may affect the results of ELISA assays.
3 Empty and clean the Liquid Waste Container
4 Clean any plate drawers and external surfaces using a moist towel dampened
with 70% alcohol.
5 Purge the washer with 50 mL of deionized water.
6 The Pipette Spigot tip should be cleaned with alcohol at the end of each day.
Note: The deionized water used for purging should be placed in Wash Buffer
Container D.
