7.2 Cleaning the Hardware
If the plungers are inadvertently omitted during a run or placed in the wrong starting position,
the machine may go through a run with the magnetic rods unprotected. If this happens, the
magnetic rod assemblies need to be cleaned.
1. To clean the back magnetic rods, it is highly recommended to remove the front magnetic rod
assembly.
2. Open the instrument door by touching the Door icon in the title bar of the software. Remove
deck trays from the instrument.
3. Turn off the instrument by pressing and holding the power button on the right side of the
instrument for three seconds.
4. Unscrew the three knob screws on the top of the front magnetic rod assembly (the screws
cannot be fully removed from the magnet bar). Slide the magnet bar downward toward the deck
of the instrument.
5. Pull the magnetic rod assembly upward while angling the assembly toward the front of the
instrument (Figure 59) to remove the magnet bar. Slide the magnet and plunger bar upward so
you have access to the back magnet rod assembly.
6. To clean the magnetic rod assemblies, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with 70% ethanol.
Removal of paramagnetic particles from the magnetic rod assembly will require multiple wipes.
The damp cloth may be wrapped around a magnet to facilitate removal of magnetic particles.
7. If the magnetic rod assemblies cannot be cleaned, please contact Promega Technical Services
for assistance.
8. After cleaning the magnetic rod assemblies, replace the front magnetic rod by angling the
magnetic rod assembly into the front magnet bar and reattaching the three knob screws.
9. Turn the instrument back on by pressing the power button on the right side of the instrument.
Figure 59. Removing the front magnetic rod assembly. Panel A. Loosen the three
thumbscrews that hold the magnetic rod assembly on the magnet bar. Panel B. Move the deck
forward and slide the magnet bar down. Slide the magnetic rod assembly up and forward to
remove it from the magnet bar.
