Preventative maintenance
procedures
This section describes Multidrop Pico dispenser preventive
maintenance. Detailed instructions for each (PM) procedure are
described, and a form is provided at the end to document PM
completion. The completed PM form can be printed for record
keeping.
Unlike many other types of laboratory equipment, there are no
electrical or mechanical preventative maintenance adjustments or
procedures required. The consumable supply which provides the
dispense performance is used just one time prior to disposal. If dispense
results are not satisfactory, the instrument will likely need to be
returned for repair. Contact information can be found in the
document, which can be accessed from the File -->
and Support
Documentation menu in the Multidrop Pico dispenser software.
Once you have finished using the Multidrop Pico dispenser and will
not use it again for an extended period of time, turn it off as follows:
•
Close the Multidrop Pico dispenser 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 the Multidrop Pico dispenser off using the main power
switch on the front of the Multidrop Pico dispenser. Depress and hold
the power button until the light and power are off.
•
Unplug both the power cable and USB cable 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.
Clean the Multidrop Pico dispenser according to the cleaning
procedures described in the Cleaning the Multidrop Pico dispenser
section below.
