Thermo BioMate 3 series User Manual

Cells with scratches in the optical path should be
discarded because scratches will cause anomalous
absorbance readings. Cells should be protected
during cleaning and never thrown into a bath with
glassware where they might get scratched, or
placed in a wire rack that might scratch them. The
outside of the cells may be wiped with a soft, lint-
free tissue, and should be kept free of fingerprints.
Micro flowcells can be kept clean by:
• Flushing well with a solvent after use
• Aspirating dilute acid, base, non-filming
detergent or Clorox through the cell in short
bursts
• Storing with distilled water in the cell
Cleaning the windows of the sample
compartment
Follow these guidelines to clean the windows of
the sample compartment:
• Do not use acetone to clean the windows
of the sample compartment. Instead, use a
non-abrasive laboratory cleaning solution (Cell
Cleaning Solution, 332260-169), distilled water
or alcohol.
• Use the liquid and a soft, lint-free cloth to clean
the windows. Do not apply too much pressure
or the surface of the windows may be
damaged. Be sure to remove all fingerprints.

located at the center of the back panel of the
