Cleaning and Maintenance
The Maxwell
®
16 Forensic Instrument is designed to require minimal maintenance. However, it is important to
clean the instrument at regular intervals. If samples or reagents are spilled, it is important to clean the instrument
immediately to avoid damage. Most parts of the Maxwell
®
16 Forensic Instrument have an anodized coating, which
forms a durable, easily cleaned barrier on the metal. Do not use spray cleaner on the keypad or touch screen because it
can damage these components.
Always turn off and unplug the instrument before cleaning.
8.A. General Care
Wipe up any spills immediately. Periodically wipe off the Magnetic Rod Assembly, Plunger Bar, inside platform and the
outside of the instrument using a cloth dampened with 70% ethanol. Do not use other solvents or abrasive cleaners.
!
Important.
Wear gloves or other protective means. If the instrument is used with biohazardous materials,
dispose of any cleaning materials used in accordance with your institutional guidelines.
