7.1.4 Spill of liquid
If liquid has been spilled on the instrument it can contaminate elements of the
optical system. This contamination can show up in the image in several ways and
have many causes but a common feature is that it cannot be removed by the use of
compressed air.
Even though such phenomena are clearly visible on the image it only rarely affects
the results of the NucleoCounter
®
NC-3000
™. Since it is possible to damage the
optical system while attempting to clean the system it is recommended that
ChemoMetec A/S should be consulted before the user attempts such cleaning.
7.2
