Maintenance 

Dust and powder (e.g. from TLC plates) that has accumulated in 
the measuring compartment has to be removed with  a vacuum 
cleaner regurarly. 
Maintenance should be performed only by authorized technicians 
who are familiar with the Scanner’s technical and functional char-
acteristics. Experience has shown that a Scanner 4 in daily use re-
quires maintenance about once a year. If the instrument is used less 
frequently, maintenance should be carried out every two years.

  

Before opening or replacing parts on the instrument, make sure the 
instrument is disconected from the mains.
