General system cleaning
• Rinse the waste tank and funnel tray. The trays are resistant to chemicals typically used in a
western blot, but some of the components of blocking buffers (nonfat dry milk, BSA, etc.) can form
deposits on the surface.
• If needed, use water and a lab tissue to clean the display screen protector, work area window, and
any interior surfaces of the instrument. Using alcohol is not recommended as it may fog plastic
surfaces over time.
