Procedure for Models without the Dispense Module
The sodium hypochlorite (bleach) solution is caustic; wear gloves and
eye protection when handling the solution.
Do not immerse the instrument, spray it with liquid, or use a dripping-
wet cloth.
Do not allow the cleaning solution to run into the
interior of the instrument. If this happens, contact the BioTek
Service Department.
Turn off and unplug the instrument for all decontamination and cleaning
operations.
1. Turn off and unplug the instrument.
2. Prepare an aqueous solution of 0.50% sodium hypochlorite (bleach). If the effects of
bleach are a concern, 70% isopropyl alcohol may be used.
Check the percent NaClO of the bleach you are using. Commercial bleach is
typically 10.0% NaClO; prepare a 1:20 dilution. Household bleach is typically
5.0% NaClO; prepare a 1:10 dilution.
3. Wet a cloth or paper towel with the bleach solution or alcohol, and then thoroughly
wring it out so that liquid does not drip from it.
4. Open the plate carrier door, and slide out the plate carrier.
5. Wipe the plate carrier and all exposed surfaces of the instrument.
6. Wait 20 minutes. Moisten a cloth with deionized (DI) or distilled water and wipe all
surfaces of the instrument that have been cleaned with the bleach solution or alcohol.
7. Use a clean, dry cloth to dry all wet surfaces.
8. Reassemble the instrument as necessary.
9. Discard the used gloves and cloths using a biohazard trash bag and an approved
biohazard container.
