Maintenance and Service
Cleaning the O-rings and chip interface prevents pressure leaks
and current leaks. The O-rings should be cleaned daily, with a more
thorough cleaning of the O-rings and chip interface monthly. See
Cleaning the Chip Cartridge.
The electrodes should be cleaned daily. Also clean the electrodes
after running any diagnostic test using Test Chip B. See “Cleaning
the Instrument Electrodes” on page 281.
Test Chip C should be inspected before use and cleaned if
necessary. See “Cleaning Test Chip C” on page 282.
Run the Optics Calibration procedure (using Test Chip C) once a
month, or more often if the company SOP specifies more frequent
calibration or diagnostics. See “Calibrating the Optics” on page 41.
The LabChip GX/GXII Assay User Guides and Quick Guides
contain LabChip Kit Essential Practices and instructions for
preparing reagents and plates. Make sure to follow the instructions
to ensure the optimum performance of your instrument.
The current version of the Assay User Guides and Quick Guides
