High-Density Replicating System
• The High-Density Replicating (HDR) System is not autoclaveable, nor should you
use organic solvents to clean the system. However, you can autoclave the pins of
the HDR Tool and use organic solvents to clean the pins.
• If you are using the bleach tray within the tool holder, remove the HDR Tool from
the bleach tray and rinse thoroughly after each session. Do NOT store or let the
HDR Tool stand in the tool holder with its pins immersed in bleach when not in
use. Extended contact with bleach will result in corrosion of the metal pins.
Plate Reader
Refer to the Plate Reader User's Manual from the original manufacturer (Molecular
Devices Corp.) for maintenance and service information.
• There are no user-serviceable components under the cover. Change lamps only
with the power off.
• Never touch any of the fiber optic cables or their housing, manifold, or rotor
connections. These fibers are extremely delicate and critical to the performance of
the Plate Reader.
• Use only the tools described to perform the steps defined in the Plate Reader user's
manual.
• Do not touch or loosen any screws or parts other than those specifically designated
in the instructions of the Plate Reader user's manual. Doing so could cause
misalignment and possibly void warranty.
• Never perform any operation on the Plate Reader in an environment where
damaging liquids or potentially damaging gases are present.
• Never touch the surfaces of the interference filters or optical lenses.
• DO NOT install the Plate Reader in a stack location that could inhibit access to the
Stop Switch of the SL in the event of an emergency. Use only locations 1F1 or 2F1
on the SL.
To prevent fluid from dripping off the microplate when it is in the reading chamber
onto any sensitive optical elements, and to minimize potential biohazard exposure to
other Plate Reader users, observe the following precautions:
• When reading microplates that may have fluid on the underside of the microplate,
damp-dry the underside using a dry paper towel (or equivalent) before putting the
microplate on the drawer. Alternatively, place a clear sheet (such as a Molecular
Devices blanking template) underneath the microplate when inserting it in the
drawer.
