8.3 Weekly Maintenance
Proceed to the daily maintenance routine.
8.3.1 INTENSIVE CUVETTE CLEANING
Intensive cuvette cleaning should be done at least weekly. In case of an intense
contamination of the cuvettes (i.e. high usage of Latex reagents) it may be nec-
essary to clean the cuvettes more often. The system checks the cuvettes before
each run and if cuvettes get’s unusable in a short time, it is a sign to clean them
more often. Place neat Cuvette Clean Solution (Ref 16663/20) on the reagent
tray. Approximately 25 min are needed to clean all cuvettes.
1. Open the Maintenance scheduler status screen and press Perform behind
the Intensive Cuvette Cleaning function.
2. Check the box for Front and Back on the “Intensive cuvette cleaning” section.
3. Select the C-Clean as solution to use.
4. Select the volume to 300 µl of C-Clean to be dispensed to the cuvettes.
5. Set the time to 1 min (increase the time by an intense contamination).
6. Check if enough C-Clean is placed on the reagent tray (160 x the volume set
above).
7. Press to start the cleaning.
8. After the cuvette cleaning finished the scheduler will be updated automat-
ically. It is mandatory to perform a Cuvette Water Blank after the cleaning.
