Warnings and
Cautions
It is your responsibility to decontaminate the instrument,
as well as any accessories, before requesting service by Molecular
Devices representatives and before returning the instrument or any
components to Molecular Devices Corporation.
All maintenance procedures described in this manual can be
safely performed by quali
Þ
ed personnel. Maintenance not covered in
this manual should be performed by a Molecular Devices representa-
tive.
Removal of protective covers that are marked with the High
Voltage warning symbol shown below can result in a safety hazard.
Always turn the instrument off and remove the power cord
and any computer/printer cables from the back prior to any mainte-
nance or installation operation
Never perform any operation on the instrument in an envi-
ronment where liquids or potentially damaging gases are present.
Risk of electrical shock. Refer servicing to quali

Use of organic solvents (such as dichloromethane) may cause
harm to the optics in the SPECTRAmax 190. Extreme caution is
advised when using organic solvents. Always use a plate lid and
avoid placing a plate containing these materials in the reading cham-
ber for prolonged periods of time. Damage caused by the use of
incompatible or aggressive solvents is NOT covered by the instru-

Never touch any of the optic mirrors,
Þ
