Thermo Scientific™ Multidrop™ Pico 1 Digital Dispenser Operating manual
As with any lab instrument, it is a best practice to routinely clean areas
of the Multidrop Pico dispenser that come into contact with chemicals.
Warning Observe the following cautions when cleaning the Multidrop
Pico dispenser:
•
Do not spray cleaning fluid directly onto the Multidrop Pico
dispenser when a cassette is installed. Always avoid exposing
unused cassettes to cleaning fluids.
•
Do not spray or wipe the ionizer bar that is mounted under the
deck to the right of the cassette location.
•
Do not spray or wipe the sensors under the Multidrop Pico
dispenser deck. Doing so could cause the sensors to become
misaligned.
Close the Multidrop Pico software, either by clicking the X in the
upper right corner of the main operating window or by clicking Exit in
the File Menu.
Turn off the Multidrop Pico.
Turn off the Multidrop Pico dispenser and remove the power and
USB cables from the back of the Multidrop Pico dispenser.
Remove any unused cassettes from the Multidrop Pico dispenser to
avoid contamination from cleaning solutions or the laboratory
environment and place them back in the cassette tray.
Spray a cleaning solution, such as bleach or a 70% ethanol solution,
onto a fabric Texwipe or other cloth that does not generate particles.
Wipe down all accessible Multidrop Pico dispenser surfaces, including
the following:
•
The top and bottom surfaces of the Multidrop Pico dispenser
deck, avoiding the ionizer bar in the cutout on the right side of the
bottom of the deck and the sensors at the front corners of the bottom of
the deck.
•
The destination plate holder.
