10 Maintenance and care
This chapter contains all the instructions for care and maintenance which users can
and must perform themselves. All maintenance work and repairs beyond this scope
must only be performed by service engineers from Analytik Jena or persons authorized
by Analytik Jena. To maintain optimum operational performance, the
PlasmaQuant MS should be serviced on an annual basis by service engineers from
Analytik Jena. Only use replacement parts from Analytik Jena. Laboratory parts
required for routine operation can be ordered from Analytik Jena.
Analytik Jena recommends that records of the system operating conditions be
maintained. Careful comparison of records can provide valuable clues to identifying
and solving problems.
