SERVICING AND CLEANING ErgoOne
In order to assure proper funtioning, the ErgoOne
should be serviced and cleaned at regular intervals.
Servicing
Inspect the pipette tip cone for damage.
Inspect the piston and seal for contamination and
damage.
Test the sealing of the instrument. To do this aspirate a
sample, and then hold the instrument in a vertical posi-
tion for about 10 sec. If a drop forms at the tip orifice,
see the troubleshooting guide on page 31.
