8.1 Cleaning the MONOLIGHT 3096
The outside of the luminometer is protected by a rugged, wash-
able varnish. If it is dirty or dusty, clean it using a moist cloth. If
necessary, use a mild cleaner (e.g. detergent, but never any
scouring powder!).
Keep the microplate transport unit and frame clean.
The spring-loaded, black microplate support tray is accessible
when the instrument is open and the frame is turned up. If it i s
dirty, clean it using a moist cloth and use cotton swabs to clean
the corners.
If liquid has entered the instrument below the microplate tray,
push it into the measurement chamber (provided you have al-
ready cleaned it), and clean the bottom below the transport unit.
When using the injector unit (option)
If liquid has entered the area below the service door (either be-
cause the screw fittings at the injector head are not tight or due
to leaky tubings), clean this area using a moist cloth. Before you
open the service door, disconnect the MONOLIGHT 3096 from
the wall outlet and open the instrument door!
