The reference solution is then wiped away with a tissue; the sample is pipetted into
place and measured by pressing the run button on the keypad.
• The measured results will be displayed on the instrument display.
• On the NanoVue Plus units samples are measured on a sample plate. Using a
pipette a solution of reference material, which is typically the solution that the
sample is dissolved in, is dropped onto the measurement position on the sample
plate and the instrument zeroed by pressing the Reference key on the keypad.
• The reference solution is then wiped away with a tissue; the sample is pipetted into
place and measured by pressing the run button on the keypad.
• The measured results will be displayed on the instrument display.
2.4. Post run procedures
Cuvettes – empty cuvette of sample and rinse with deionised water. Cuvettes may be
periodically cleaned by using commercially available cell cleaning solutions or dilute
detergent solutions but should always be rinsed in deionised water.
SimpliNano – wipe the sample port with a dry, lint-free tissue between samples and
at the end of the run, this is sufficient to remove sample. If more thorough cleaning is
desired, the port can also be cleaned with dilute (2%) detergent solution, followed by
isopropyl alcohol.
NanoVue Plus – wipe sample with tissue. At end of sample run wipe plates with tissue
wetting with deionised water. The plates can also be cleaned with isopropyl alcohol
or a dilute detergent solution but the plates should always be rinsed with deionised
water after cleaning.
