5.E. Cleaning the Instrument Interior
Accumulated residue from various luminescent substrates may inhibit proper movement of the Optical Head.
Failure to properly maintain a clean interior may cause a mechanical error and the irretrievable loss of data. We
recommend thoroughly cleaning the interior every 30 days.

®
tissue dampened with 70% ethanol to wipe the Microplate Sample Tray cover. Repeat.

Push the Microplate Sample Tray to the back of the instrument, exposing two steel guide rails upon which
the sample tray glides (Figure 54). Use a Kimwipes

Push the Optical Head to the center of the instrument, exposing the black metal shelf on the right side of the
instrument (Figure 55).

Clean the black shelf with a fresh Kimwipes
®
tissue dampened with 70% ethanol. Be sure to clean the home
position for the optical head.
