Looking After a Imager2 Instrument

A Imager2 Instrument does not require regular maintenance or calibration other than occasional checking
and cleaning.

Cleaning a Imager2 Instrument

Switch off the instrument and unplug the mains power cord from the electrical
supply.
WARNING
The outside of the Imager2 Instrument can be cleaned using a soft lint-free cloth, moistened if required with
a little water. Mild detergent may be used, if necessary. Do not use abrasive or solvent based cleaning
materials. Always perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area before you clean the entire surface.
Surfaces which may become contaminated with biochemical materials/reagents, e.g. the interior surfaces of
the Darkroom, the Black Tray or a transilluminator module, can be cleaned using a soft lint free cloth and a
non-fluorescent cleaning agent such as; a neutral detergent or 70% ethanol solution.
Avoid spilling any liquid into the body of the instrument and clean any external spills immediately. If any
liquid enters the main body of the instrument, make the instrument inoperative and contact the supplier.
