Washing solution for probe and cuvettes when running turbidimetric methods
In those cases where latex reagents are used, is highly recommended to use the following washing
solutions:
Washing solution for probe:
use distilled water alone
Washing solution for cuvettes:
dilute 3 ml of wash concentrate in 1 liter of distilled water. Ex: 70 ml of
wash concentrate for each 20 liters of distilled water.
Warning: not following the instructions given above will affect the results.
TIP cleaning solution
Use a 30% commercial sodium hypochlorite solution (bleach solution)
Special washing solution for maintenance according to need
Use 0.2 Normal sodium hydroxide. Weigh out 8 gr. of dry sodium hydroxide and dissolve it in 1 liter of
distilled water.
Special washing solution for turbidimetric techniques with latex

Introduction
This chapter gives instructions and guides for isolating and identifying problems quickly. In the majority of
cases the users will be able to find and fix the problem themselves, and resume the daily workload. When
this is not possible, contact the Technical Support.
For identifying and solving problems, the user should be familiar with the theory of the instrument
operation, the operating procedures, the maintenance procedures, and the fundamentals of the chemical
test methods described in this Manual.
The primary responsibility of the operator in the resolution of problems falls into the following categories:
-
Preparation and storage of reagents
-
Preparation and location of samples
