Chapter 5 Instrument Maintenance
5.1 Instrument Cleaning
(1) Instrument surface cleaning: The surface of the instrument should be scrubbed
regularly with a soft cloth with 75% alcohol, and the instrument should be wiped
dry after cleaning.
(2) Reaction wells cleaning：
a. It is recommended that the wells be cleaned once every 3 months as dust or
impurities can affect PCR amplification and fluorescence detection.
b. To prevent dust from entering the reaction wells, the flip-top lid must be
closed when the instrument is not in use.
c. If any reagent enters the sample hole, it should be wiped clean with a
dust-free soft cloth with anhydrous ethanol.
d.
The power must be turned off and the power cord unplugged before cleaning
the instrument.
e.
Do not pour liquids into the reaction module or inside the instrument.
f.
Do not use corrosive solvents or organic solvents to scrub the instrument.
5.2 Instrument Protection
(1) Do not switch the instrument on and off frequently.
(2) Please use the adapter provided by the original manufacturer.
(3)
Boiling water bath or low temperature holding (e.g. 4°C) on the instrument
is prohibited.
(4) It is forbidden to disassemble the instrument by non-original maintenance
personnel.
5.3 Waste Disposal
(1) After each experiment, there are a large number of amplification products in
the test tube, which should be disposed of as soon as possible according to
relevant regulations to avoid contaminating the laboratory and instruments.
(2) Do not open the cover of the test tube after it is removed from the instrument,
otherwise it will easily cause laboratory contamination.
5.4 Overheat Protection
(1) When the temperature value of the instrument temperature control module exceeds
the set threshold (120°C), the device will automatically stop heating up and
