Maintenance and Cleaning

Maintenance

There are no user-repairable parts on the Absorbance Plate Reader. Contact Opentrons Support if the unit is damaged.

Cleaning

Use a soft cloth dampened with water to wipe off all exterior surfaces. You can also use a mild soap and water solution to clean heavily soiled areas or to remove tenacious residue.

Use the included cleaning cloth or compressed air to remove dust or dirt from the interior surfaces of the illumination and detection units. You can also use a cloth dampened with 80% ethanol if a light dusting does not clean these parts of the plate reader sufficiently.

Warning

• Do not spray cleaning liquids directly onto the plate reader.
• Never clean the device with stiff, coarse brushes, abrasives, detergents, or harsh solvents.
• Wear protective gloves if cleaning involves potential contact with hazardous materials or liquids.
