6.3 - Checks during operation
▪
Perform regularly visual checks for air bubbles in the sample pipettes, see
.
▪
Check regularly the ESR statistics in the software for any increase in ESR errors, haziness, dilution
errors or bubbles on top warnings, see ESR Statistics screens.
In case of a considerable number of pipettes with air bubbles:
▪
Perform the necessary maintenance or contact the service representative.
6.4 - Turn off
It is recommended to turn the Interrliner off at the end of the day. Before the instrument is turned off, it is
good practice to carry out the
or at least the End-of-day wash procedure. This will help to
keep the instrument clean and almost free of bacterial growth for a period of days.
Always be aware of the dangers of infection, especially during maintenance.
Take the appropriate precautions.
Note:
The Interrliner may remain switched ON continuously. However, the customer should consider
environmental issues such as energy consumption when the instrument is not to be used for some
time. It is also recommended to completely restart the instrument and (if applicable) Windows once in
a while to clear the memory and ensure a stable operating system.
