Cleaning and Maintenance

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.

the outside of the instrument using a cloth dampened with 70% ethanol. Do not use other solvents or abrasive
