7. Cleaning and Maintenance
7.6.3 Specimen slide holder, gripper and
output magazines
• Carefully clean the gripper using a lint-free
cloth soaked in compatible solvent (if neces-
sary, also daily if using labels that protrude or
are sensitive to solvent).
• Check the output magazines for clinging and
dried coverslipping mountant.
• In particular, dried adhesive residue in the
slots of the output magazines can cause prob-
lems when inserting the specimen slides.
• Carefully clean the output magazines using a
lint-free cloth soaked in compatible solvent.
• Check the brush of the dispenser needle
cleaner for dried-on, hardened coverslipping
mountant.
• To do so, take the brush out of the plastic
container and remove clinging coverslip
mountant.
• If the brush is very dirty or hard, replace it with
a new one.
• Before beginning work, fill the plastic con-
tainer with 5 ml of solvent. To do so, use the
plastic pipettes provided.
