Cleaning functions overview

  • Wash each pipette:
    When the pipette belt turns one position, the pipette at the rinse position will be rinsed and dried, regardless if it was filled or not.
  • Wash only sample pipettes:
    Before executing this function, check carefully if there are samples in the pipette belt that need to be measured. Any remaining samples will be washed away and will NOT be measured!
    All pipettes which are currently holding samples are washed and dried once.
    A warning is shown on the display: <Pipette data will be lost!>.
  • Wash all pipettes:
    Before executing this function, check carefully if there are samples in the pipette belt that need to be measured.
    Any remaining samples will be washed away and will NOT be measured!
    All pipettes on the pipette belt are washed and dried once.
    A warning is shown on the display: <Pipette data will be lost!>.
  • Fill & Clean:
    This button starts the Fill & Clean procedure. During prolonged use of the instrument, proteins are building up in the Westergren pipettes which need to be removed using a strong cleaning agent. This function fills all pipettes with a cleaning agent and removes the cleaning agent after a specified time.
  • End-of-day wash:
    All pipettes will be washed once and needle, fill-nozzle and rinse-nozzle (wash station) are primed.
