Precautions For Using The Microplate Reader

Oct 11, 2022 Leave a message


Working environment The microplate reader is a precise optical instrument, so a good working environment can not only ensure its accuracy and stability, but also prolong its service life.

 

    a. The instrument should be placed in a location free from strong magnetic fields and interference voltages.

 

    b. The instrument should be placed in an environment where the noise is lower than 40 decibels.

 

    c. In order to delay the aging of optical components, direct sunlight should be avoided.

 

    d. The operating ambient temperature should be between 15°C and 40°C, and the ambient humidity should be between 15% and 85%.

 

    e. The voltage should remain stable during operation.

 

    f. The air in the operating environment is clean, avoiding water vapor and smoke.

 

    g. Maintain a dry, clean, level work surface, and sufficient operating space.

 

    2. Precautions for the use of microplate reader

 

    a. Use a pipette to add liquid, and the pipette tips cannot be mixed.

 

    b. Washing plates should be clean to avoid cross-contamination.

 

    c. Strictly follow the instructions of the kit, and the reaction time is accurate.

 

    d. Do not spill samples or reagents on the surface or interior of the instrument, and pay attention to cleaning after the operation is completed.

 

    e. Do not turn off the power during measurement.

 

    f. For the deviation of the measurement results caused by the problem of the kit, the parameters should be modified in time according to the actual situation to achieve the best effect.

 

    g. Cover the dust cover after use.

 

    In case of technical failure, please contact the manufacturer in time, and do not disassemble the microplate reader without authorization.
