7. Cleaning and Maintenance
A Filling the coverslipping mountant bottle:
• If possible, top up the coverslip mountant at the end of the working day so that
any air bubbles that arise during filling are degassed by the next working day.
• The coverslip mountant needs between 6-12 hours of resting time to degas (time
depends on the type of the coverslip mountant).
• If necessary, clean the bottle neck and both O-rings (blue = bottle neck and
black = dispenser group) to remove coverslip mountant residue.
B Replace the active carbon filter if necessary, but no later than after three months ( refer
to Chapter 7.7.1 ).
C Check the transfer station for dirt and clean it if necessary:
• TS5015: Transfer arm (
refer to Chapter 7.7.3 ) and carriage in y-direction.
• TS5025: Discharge chute ( refer to Chapter 7.7.2 ) and transfer arm.

7.5 Description of the required daily cleaning measures
7.5.1 Loading chute and bath transport with transport chain
• Check the loading chute and bath transport with transport chain for broken glass and adhe-
sive residue and carefully remove any dirt or debris.
• To clean adhesive residue, use a lint-free cloth soaked in compatible solvent. Loose glass
shards and splinters can be cleaned up using a commercially available vacuum cleaner.
7.5.2 Dispenser needle cleaner (nozzle cleaner)
• Fill the dispenser needle cleaner with approx. 5 ml of solvent.
• Check the brush. If the brush is hard or very dirty, replace it with a new brush.
There is a danger of cutting injuries during this cleaning step. Therefore, proceed with the
necessary caution.
Wear protective clothing!
