9.2.8 Sealing Plate (Pipetting Head)
You are advised to follow these rules:
1.
Do not use pipette tips covered with dust.
2. Check sealing plate for cleanness once in a month.
3. Trigger a tip changing cycle and remove the tip magazine for inspection and cleaning.
The sealing plate can now be accessed from the bottom. Use a non-shedding slightly
moistened cloth for cleaning.
4. Proceed with utmost caution in order to prevent unwanted position-shifting of the
sealing plate. Otherwise, there is danger of plate openings getting clogged with fluff
balls.
TIP
Carriage performance depends on the current state of the transport rails. Remove pock-
ets of dirt, contamination or damage of transport rails immediately.
TIP
Where pipette tips are changed at shorter intervals, fine fluff-ball stock or dust may set-
tle on the sealing plate, thus impairing the efficiency of sealing.
