The primary maintenance for the NanoDrop Lite is to keep the
pedestal surfaces clean.
1. Pipette 3 μl of deionized water (dH
2
O) onto the bottom pedestal.
Do not use a squirt bottle to apply dH
2
O or any other liquid to
the surface of the instrument.
2. Lower the arm to form a liquid column; let it sit for
approximately 2-3 minutes.
3. Wipe away the water from both the upper and lower pedestals
with a dry, lint-free lab wipe.
Between measurements:
Wipe the sample from both the upper and
lower pedestals with a clean, dry, lint-free lab wipe, to prevent sample
carryover and avoid residue buildup.
Between users:
A final cleaning of both measurement surfaces with
dH
2
O is recommended after the last sample measurement.

Pedestal Cleaning and Reconditioning
