Cleaning and Maintenance
The Maxwell
®
16 MDx Instrument is designed to require minimal maintenance. However, it is important to clean
the instrument at regular intervals. If samples or reagents have been spilled, it is important to clean the instru-
ment immediately to avoid damage or contamination of samples. Most parts of the Maxwell
®
16 MDx Instrument
have an anodized coating, which forms a durable, easily cleaned barrier on the metal.
Always turn o
ff
and unplug the instrument before cleaning.
8.A. General Care
Wipe up any spills immediately. Periodically wipe o
ff
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.
• Keep the cooling vents in the back of the machine clear of dust.
• Do not remove the Maxwell
®
16 MDx Instrument case for cleaning. This will void the warranty.
• Do not use a spray bottle to soak instrument surfaces with large volumes of liquid.
• Never allow liquids to sit on instrument surfaces for extended periods of time.
• Keep all moisture away from the heated elution tube slots to prevent damage to the heating elements.
• If the linear slides for the platform need to be cleaned, use only a dry paper towel. If they have been
contaminated with any liquid, wipe o
ff
excess liquid and follow the lubrication guidelines in Section 8.F,
or contact Promega Technical Services for assistance.
