The Pogo Pins and external air filter are the only user serviceable parts. Please contact Axion Support at support@axionbio.com for any other maintenance. Storage When the Maestro is not in use, Axion recommends leaving the Smart Plate engaged with the door closed.
Air Filter Replacement The Maestro ZHT’s CO2 controller requires clean air to maintain a stable environment for your cells. To replace the air filter, twist luer fitting to remove the tube from the air filter, then twist filter counter-clockwise to remove it from the back of the Maestro. Twist the new filter in place on the Maestro until snug.
