Thermo Scientific Multidrop Combi nL User Manual
When you set up your Multidrop Combi nL, avoid sites of operation
with excess dust, vibrations, strong magnetic fields, direct sunlight or
UV light, draft, excessive moisture or large temperature fluctuations.
Make sure the working area is flat, dry, clean and vibration-proof
l
and leave additional room for accessories, cables, and reagent
bottles.
Make sure the ambient air is clean and free of corrosive vapors,
l
smoke and dust.
Make sure the ambient temperature range is between +10°C (50°F)
l
and +40°C (104°F).
Make sure the humidity is so low that condensing does not occur
l
(relative humidity is between 10% and 80%).
Leave sufficient space (at least 10 cm) on both sides and at the back of
the unit to allow adequate air circulation.
The Multidrop Combi nL does not produce operating noise at a level
that would be harmful. No sound level measurements are required after
installation.
Place the instrument on a normal laboratory bench. The net weight of
the entire equipment is approx. 9.6 kg (21.2 lbs.).
The instrument operates at voltages of 100–240 Vac and a frequency
range of 50/60 Hz.
Always ensure that the local supply voltage in the laboratory
l
conforms to that specified on the rating label on the back of the
instrument (Figure 2–4).
Do not smoke, eat or drink while using the Multidrop Combi nL.
l
Wash your hands thoroughly after handling test fluids.
l
Observe normal laboratory procedures for handling potentially
l
dangerous samples.
Wear proper protection clothing, such as disposable gloves and
l
laboratory coats, according to good laboratory practice.
Ensure that the working area is well ventilated.
l
Never spill fluids in or on the equipment.
