Minimizing Cross-Contamination
•Use of the liquid level sensing capability will reduce carryover by limiting immersion below the liquid surface.
•Cleansing the probe tip with a flowing rinse removes contaminants from the external surfaces of the probe.
•Dispensing liquid through the probe into the rinsing station will eliminate internal contamination.
An alternate internal/external cleansing using a
