15. Always wash the device after use before turning off the power to prevent detergent
buildup.
Switching Between Modes
It is simple to switch between labeling and clearing modes.
1. Remove any
Sample Cups
and samples from the system.
2. Wash the device.
3. Begin processing samples with your new mode following the instructions for that
particular function.
Device Washing
Follow these steps to wash the device.
During these steps it is important to not run the
Auxiliary Power
without any liquid in the
system. It could potentially damage the pump.
1. Turn off
Auxiliary Power.
2. Drain any liquid out of the system with the
Drainage Valve
and close the valve.
3. Pour 400 mL distilled water into the
Chamber.
4. Turn on
Auxiliary Power
and run the pump for several minutes.
5. Turn off
Auxiliary Power
and drain the liquid.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 at least 3 more times, or until the liquid in the
Chamber
is no longer
bubbly.
Temperature Calibration
We recommend re-calibrating the temperature sensors every 6 months to maintain proper
system function and to ensure the best results. For the best results, use a well calibrated digital
thermometer to collect temperature measurements.
1. Fill the device with 400 mL distilled water and turn on the
Auxiliary Power.
2. Open the
Case Lid
and
Chamber Lid.
3. Put the thermometer into the
Chamber
at an angle and close the
Chamber Lid
such that
the thermometer is still in the liquid, and the sensor on top of the
Chamber Lid
points
down into the liquid.
4. Wait ~30 seconds for the temperature to stabilize.
5. Press the
“Mode”
button so the indicator shows
“Cal”.
This means that the device is in
calibration mode.
