Cleaning the Black Glass and Green Tile
The Green tile and Black Glass can be cleaned using a soft nylon-bristle brush, warm water, and
laboratory grade detergent such as SPARKLEEN. Wipe the tiles dry using a clean, non-optically
brightened, lint free paper towel, or use warm water as a rinse and let stand to air-dry in a
couple of minutes.
Note: SPARKLEEN is manufactured by Fisher Scientific Co., Pittsburgh, PA
15219, and may be ordered from them using catalog number 4-320-4. Add one
tablespoon of SPARKLEEN to a gallon of water.
The above procedure is particularly useful if the lab area is not clean. If, however, the lab is
clean, an equally effective method for occasional tile cleaning is to use IPQ (isopropyl alcohol)
sprayed onto a clean, non-optically brightened, lint free paper towel such as a Kim wipe. Wipe
tile thoroughly watching for fingerprints and let air dry.
Keep the Black Glass in the standards case when not in use to prevent it from becoming
scratched or collecting dust. Before standardizing the instrument, check the black tile for
scratches and dust. Significant scratches that result in a hazy appearance to the finish may
cause standardization to be in error. If the black tile is scratched, call the HunterLab Order
Processing Department or contact your local HunterLab representative to order a replacement.
System Warm-Up
If power to any of the system components has been turned off, it must be restored to all
components before operation can resume. If power to the support unit has been turned off, a
30-minute warm-up period is required for sensor temperature stabilization. If power to the
support unit has been turned off for more than an hour, a two-hour warm-up period is
required.
When restoring power to system components,
•
Restore power to the support unit and computer (if included).
•
Allow at least thirty minutes of warm-up time.
•
Standardize.
•
Select the desired product setup and begin operation.
Cleaning the Sensor
To ensure proper operation of the sensor it is recommended that the abrasion-resistant
LUCITE
®
viewing window of the sensor be wiped clean with household glass cleaner on a soft
lens tissue or lintless cloth at the start of each shift. The exterior of the sensor and mount
should be cleaned weekly. The system cleaning should always be followed by standardization
using the calibrator.
