Warning! Service.
Only qualified technical personnel should perform
service procedures on internal components.
Warning! Accessories.
Only accessories that meet the manufacturer’s
specifications shall be used with the instrument.
Warning!
The instrument weighs approximately 38 pounds (17 kg). Use two
people when lifting and carrying the instrument.
Warning! Lubricants.
Do not apply lubricants to the microplate carrier or
carrier track. Lubricant on the carrier mechanism or components in the carrier
compartment will attract dust and other particles, which may obstruct the
carrier path and cause the instrument to produce an error.
Warning! Liquids.
Avoid spilling liquids on the instrument; fluid seepage
into internal components creates a potential for shock hazard or instrument
damage. If a spill occurs while a program is running, abort the program and
turn the instrument off. Wipe up all spills immediately. Do not operate the
instrument if internal components have been exposed to fluid.

The operator must follow the
manufacturer’s assay package insert when modifying software parameters
and establishing reading, washing, or dispensing methods.
Failure to

No limits are applied to the
raw absorbance data. All information exported via computer control must be
thoroughly analyzed by the operator.
