Perform Waste Valve Rinse
After a run has finished, the waste valve rinse procedure automatically cleans the valves that control
waste management in the Artisan™ Link. Your lab manager or system administrator sets this up for
you in System Configuration.
The waste valve rinse prevents salt deposits from forming and keeps the waste lines and valves free
of contamination.
Note : Dako recommends that you activate the check box, automatically perform
waste valve rinse after use.
When performing a waste valve rinse, the instrument flushes each waste line and valve by dispensing
wash solution into the washtub and aspirating. The instrument performs multiple rinses for each
waste line to ensure optimal cleanliness.
Perform Routine Maintenance and Cleaning
Routine cleaning and maintenance is essential for reliable operation of the Artisan™ Link. Without
this, the reliability of Artisan™ Link may be compromised. The following should be done on a daily
basis.
