In order to keep your liquid handler at peak
performance, Gilson recommends that you do the
following:
• Change or clean the tubing regularly to
maintain maximum performance.
• Flush the probe housings and rinse stations
daily with distilled or deionized water. On a
weekly basis, flush with a 10% solution of
bleach or weak detergent.
• Check periodically to ensure that all fittings are
tight.
• Wipe up all spills immediately.
• Cold fluids may cause leakage; warm fluids to
room temperature before running them through
the system.
• Lubricate the rods on the Z-arm at least once
every six months (see page 4-7 ).
