Maintenance & Care
9.3.2 Sealing Plate
You are advised to follow these rules:
1. Do not use dusty pipetting tips.
2. Inspect sealing plate approximately once in a month.
3. Trigger tip change routine and remove the tip magazine from the system for
inspection and cleaning. The sealing plate can now be accessed from below. Use
a non-shedding slightly moistened cloth for cleaning. Alternatively, specific
microplate adhesive tape (nunc™ 236269) can be carefully affixed to, and
removed from, the sealing plate again.
4. Use particular care when cleaning, in order to prevent accidental shifting of the
sealing plate. Otherwise, there is danger of plate openings getting clogged with
fluff balls.
5. Do not tighten the tip magazine before the sealing plate has fully dried.
NOTE
Where pipette tips are changed more frequently, fine fluff-ball stock or dust may settle
on the sealing plate, impairing the efficiency of sealing.
