Daily and Manual Maintenance and Cleaning Routines
The following cleaning and maintenance routines should be carried out on a regular basis or whenever necessary.
3.1 Checking the Reagent Containers when Manually Refi lling
Empty reagent containers lead to wrong measurement results and can cause a dry run, thereby damaging the
syringe and the 8-way valve. Regular checks of the liquid level are done via the Reagent Kit Status window,
which is located under the Functions.
For safety reasons, the liquid level of the individual reagent containers, as well as the capillary positions,
should also be manually checked before each measurement and, if necessary, replaced or refi lled. For detailed
information, see “
Refi lling Containers Individually“.
Cleaning the reagent containers when Manually Refi lling
All reagent containers must be thoroughly cleaned at regular intervals and rinsed with distilled or de-ionized
water. Impurities caused by dust or fl uff must absolutely be avoided! The Trypan Blue is especially critical as it
can become contaminated with microorganisms. In the case of such contamination, exact measurements are no
longer possible. If the Trypan Blue solution is contaminated, intense areas may be visible in the image that will
make image analysis diffi cult or even impossible.
Replacing the reagents after 5 days is recommended. For detailed information, see “
Refi lling Containers
Individually “.
