Care and Maintenance
5.1 General Maintenance
With regular use the VersaDoc system should provide years of trouble-free operation without
any need for regular operator maintenance other than cleaning. If you suspect that the
VersaDoc requires servicing, please contact your local Bio-Rad office.
The outside surface of the VersaDoc should be periodically cleaned with water, mild liquid
soap and a sponge or soft cloth towel.
Caution:
Never use abrasive cleaners, solvent based cleaners, alcohol or scouring pads
to clean the external surface of the instrument.
Caution: Always disconnect the VersaDoc from electrical power prior to cleaning the
external surface of the instrument.
5.1.1 Cleaning the Sample Stage Area
The sample platen and sample stage of the VersaDoc should be cleaned between imaging
sessions to optimize image quality. Use powder-free gloves when cleaning the instrument to
avoid fingerprints that may appear during imaging. Never wear powdered gloves when
cleaning the VersaDoc. Clean the sample platen with optical cleaning solution and a lint free
optical tissue. Cleaning kits are available from Bio-Rad and one is supplied with the
instrument.
Caution:
It is recommended that water, mild liquid soap and a soft sponge are used to
clean the sample stage. Never use abrasive cleaners, solvent-based detergents or
scouring pads to clean the platen surface.
5.1.2 Cleaning the Transilluminator Platen:
The platen on the transilluminator module should also be periodically cleaned to remove dust
and optimize image quality. To clean the platen, follow the steps outlined below:
1. Turn off the VersaDoc.
2. Open the main door and slide out the transilluminator assembly.
3.
Clean the top platen using optical cleaning solution and optical tissue.
4.
Once the platen is clean, push the transilluminator back into the enclosure.
