Biomek 2000
If re-alignment is needed, refer to the Biomek 2000 Hardware and Software
Installation Manual for complete instructions.
Check Finger Pads for Wear
If your system includes a Side Loader or a Gripper Tool, then you should periodically
check the pads on the fingers for wear and replace the pads as needed.
For instructions on replacing finger pads for the Side Loader hand and for the Gripper
Tool, refer to the Biomek 2000 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide.
Monthly
Once a month (or more often, as required) you should thoroughly clean the
worksurface. Refer to the Biomek 2000 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide for
complete instructions.
In addition, you should verify that the following safety features are functioning
properly:
•
The Warning light on the Head assembly
•
The Warning buzzer on the Head assembly
•
Emergency Stop switch on the workstation and on the Side Loader (if applicable)
You can verify the first two by observing the workstation during a method, and noting
whether the light and buzzer come on at the appropriate times (when a method is
started).
To check the Emergency Stop switches, run a method (using either dry labware or
using the “Dry Run” option, as desired) then press the Stop switch and observe
whether or not the method and movement halts.
Note that the Stop switch on the worksurface only stops the pipette head, and the Stop
switch on the Side Loader only stops the Side Loader.
Semi-Annually (Every Six Months)
The following procedure should be performed every six months or more frequently as
indicated by instrument performance.
Calibrate Pipetting Tools
Refer to the Biomek 2000 Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide for a complete
discussion of tool calibration.
