Decontamination Information
Before return shipment of Bio-Plex ® 200 system equipment, the accessible surfaces and the
internal fluidics system must be sanitized and decontaminated. Before Bio-Rad can accept this
equipment, you must certify that it is NOT CONTAMINATED with chemical, radioactive, or
biological materials or hazards. Make a copy of these two pages and follow the steps below to
complete the decontamination certification on page 42. Place the decontamination certificate in a
sturdy envelope and tape to the top of the corrugated shipping box.
If the equipment was used in a class 2, 3, or 4 biohazard work area, or if the equipment was
exposed to known carcinogens or teratogens, or exposed to radioisotopes other than those listed
on the decontamination certificate, we will not accept it for repair. If you have any questions,
contact your local Bio-Rad office or, in the US, call 1-800-4BIO-RAD.
The following checklist is provided for your convenience. Please complete and return with the
signed decontamination form.
1. Replace the fluid in the sheath bottle with a solution of 10% household bleach and DI water.
Fill the 10% bleach reservoir of the MCV plate with 10% bleach. Fill the DI H
2
O reservoir of
the MCV plate with distilled water and place the MCV plate in the microplate platform.
2. Turn on the reader and microplate platform. Open Bio-Plex Manager software. Select
Instrument, then select Shut down.
3. When Shut down is complete, close Bio-Plex Manager™ software and turn off the power
to the array reader and microplate platform. Disconnect the instrument from AC power by
turning off the power switch on the rear of the instrument. Unplug the instrument power cord
from the wall source.
