This chapter will help you prepare the lab for Maurice. Please have the space, electrical and environmental requirements ready prior to scheduling your installation. NOTE: Please wait for an authorized ProteinSimple Field Service Engineer to unpack and install Maurice for you. Don’t try doing this yourself. Handling Maurice incorrectly could cause injury to yourself or dam- age to the system.
Maurice likes a consistent temperature in the lab (not too hot – not too cold). He works best when condi- tions stay within these ranges: Requirement Specification Operating temperature range 18 - 25 °C (64 - 77 °F) Operating humidity range 20-80% relative, non-condensing Table 2-2: Environmental requirements. User Guide for Maurice, Maurice C. and Maurice S.
Take all the standard precautions when lifting or moving Maurice. Since Maurice systems weigh 46 kg (100 lb), you should not lift him by yourself. Two people should lift him onto the lab bench. User Guide for Maurice, Maurice C. and Maurice S.

The cIEF and CE-SDS Cartridges were developed for use with Maurice systems. Each cartridge is individually tested and shipped with a Certificate of Analysis, are also online at http://www.proteinsimple.com/certifi- cates.html. The cartridges are shipped dry and should be stored free of liquid.
2. Sweep the air stream across the entire length of the optical window. 3. Flip the cartridge over and repeat the prior steps. User Guide for Maurice, Maurice C. and Maurice S.
If you’ll use the cartridge again within 2 hours of your last run, you can leave the cartridge in Maurice. Otherwise you’ll need to clean and store it. • Always run the cartridge cleanup before storing. See page 175 for the CE-SDS Cartridge cleanup steps. User Guide for Maurice, Maurice C. and Maurice S.
Dispose of your samples and reagent vials after each run. Compass for iCE will let you know when a cartridge is at the end of its useful life and should be discarded.
