Cleaning the Liquid Handler
The liquid handler should be cleaned occasionally
using a dry, clean cloth. Or, if necessary, use a cloth
dipped in soapy water. If liquid is accidentally
spilled on the liquid handler, wipe the instrument
using a dry, clean cloth.
Cleaning the Fluid Path
Depending on your use of the liquid handler, it
may be necessary to flush the entire fluid path.
It’s important to clean the fluid path if you won’t
be using the liquid handler for a while or if you’re
using a solution with a high salt concentration for a
probe wash or as a diluent.
Prime the system using distilled or deionized water.
Check the beaker during the priming sequence to
ensure it always has liquid in it.
