3. Cleaning Instructions and
UV Decontamination
Never clean the MagNA Pure Compact Instrument without turning the instrument
power switch off (using the Exit button on the touch-screen) and disconnecting the
power cable.
Never pour liquids into the instrument housing.
As with all potentially biohazardous specimens, use universal safety precautions when
handling and processing samples. For example, immediately clean up spills with an
appropriate disinfectant solution to avoid contaminating laboratory personnel or equip-
ment. Handle and dispose of infectious material according to local safety guidelines.
3.1 Cleaning
The surface of the MagNA Pure Compact Instrument as well as removable internal parts
should be cleaned on a weekly basis with a lint free cloth moistened with deonized water.
If a spill of reagents occurs, the instrument should be cleaned with a 70% ethanol solu-
tion or any acceptable PCR laboratory cleaner. Turn the instrument power Off and dis-
connect or unplug the power cord before cleaning the instrument.
Removable internal parts of the instrument, such as the racks, drop catcher or drip tray
should be wiped clean with a lint free cloth moistened with a 70% ethanol solution or any
acceptable PCR laboratory cleaner. The waste tank has to be cleaned each time it was
emptied, to avoid contamination. After the liquid waste has been disposed according to
the MSDS (Material Data Safety Sheet) and local regulations, the waste tank should be
incubated with a compatible laboratory cleaning agent.
To get access to the removable internal parts,
first open the front door by moving the lever
on its right side to the left.
