this coating. Take extra care to avoid contact with the interior surface in order to prolong the
lifetime of the window.
Chemicals
Chemicals such as chlorine bleach , ethanol, and isopropanol are NOT detrimental to the optical
properties of the window.
CAUTION: The window CAN be damaged by chemicals such as
toluene, acetone, benzene, ethylene dichloride, and other highly acidic or alkaline reagents.
Cleaning Procedure
Dust particles are the most common contaminant. Compressed, clean dry air is recommended as a
first step in cleaning the Clean Box window since dust particles can become embedded in cleaning
cloths and scratch the surface.
Should compressed clean dry air prove insufficient, use LI-COR
®
Optical Tissue and LI-COR
Optical Cleaner. Apply a few drops to an optical tissue and gently clean the window with a circular
motion. Follow with a second dry tissue to remove any residual liquid or streaks.
For heavy duty cleaning of the window or entire Clean Box, use durable Heavy Duty Optical Wipes.
A final cleaning of the window surface using the LI-COR Premium Grade Optical Tissue, as
discussed above, may be required.
Each of the cleaning products mentioned above can be ordered as the Clean Box Cleaning Kit or
individually from LI-COR.
Replacing Heater Plate Contact Pins
Over time, the heater plate contact pins on the bottom of the imaging bed that mate with the
imaging drawer and docking station may wear or become bent and no longer function as intended.
Replacement of these pins is described in Chapter 5 of the Pearl Imager Operator's Manual.
