Cleaning and Maintenance
The Maxwell
16 MDx Instrument is designed to require minimal maintenance. However, it is important to clean
®
the instrument at regular intervals. If samples or reagents have been spilled, it is important to clean the instru-
ment immediately to avoid damage or contamination of samples. Most parts of the Maxwell
have an anodized coating, which forms a durable, easily cleaned barrier on the metal.
Always turn off and unplug the instrument before cleaning.

Wipe up any spills immediately. Periodically wipe off the magnetic rod assembly, plunger bar, inside platform, and
the outside of the instrument using a cloth dampened with 70% ethanol. Do not use other solvents or abrasive
cleaners.
