B6. BlotCycler Maintenance:
Run cleaning cycle every time you finished western blot processing. You can use deionized or distilled water
for cleaning. At least once in a week perform intensive cleaning with cleaning solution (cat #CL500).
If the BlotCycler is not intended to be used within next 24h, run cleaning cycle with cleaning solution and
then with deionized or distilled water and open all valves. It is a good idea to keep all valves open all the
time while BlotCycler is not in operation.
Go to home screen and press
button and then
button.
When all valves are open, the beep sound and the message will appear. Now you can turn BlotCycler
off.
Note: before opening valves check that there is no solution in the tank or the level close to minimal level.
Now turn BlotCycler off.
Note: after opening valve you need to restart BlotCycler using switch on the back before using it
again.
Warning: If there is a risk that a large volume of spilled liquid has penetrated the casing of
the instruments and come into contact with the electrical components, immediately switch off
the system, wipe out all spilled solution and do not operate until completely dry.
