Chapter 9. Cleaning, Maintenance and Storage
Keeping the Cellometer Ascend and its operative area clean between runs, during use and post runs is a best
practice and prevents contamination. Caring for the instrument and its consumables is also a best practice.
Note: If using the Cellometer Ascend within a biosafety cabinet, cleaning may not be required, or agents and
materials may be adapted according to BSC system requirements. Please follow all the instructions provided by the
manufacturer.
CAUTION: Always power the instrument OFF before cleaning as damage to the machine
could occur.
CAUTION: Allow for flammable agents used for cleaning or disinfecting to completely
evaporate before powering the instrument ON.
CLEANING
The instrument and any cords/cables can be wiped down using a 70% Isopropyl (IPA) solution. Repeat until the soil
is no longer visible. Finish with a fiber optic lint-free wipe (e.g., Kimwipes).
1. Dampen a fiber optic lint-free wipe with IPA.
2. Use the wipe to rub lightly on the outside of the instrument until it is visibly clean.
3. Wait for the cleaning agent to evaporate before powering the instrument ON.
