CHAPTER 0MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Daily maintenance consists of refilling the coupler fluid bottle, checking for
leaks in the instrument, and positioning of the microplate insert.
Periodically, the instrument requests maintenance, such as refilling the
coupler fluid bottle, emptying the waste bottle, adjusting air pressure or
fluid temperature.
Scheduled maintenance consists of purging the fluid system, replacing the
water filter, washing the bottles, and cleaning the anti-static bars and
destination plate gripper grid.
Six-month preventive maintenance is provided by Labcyte field service
representatives if the Echo liquid handler is still under warranty or under a
service contract.
