Service
The Piccolo Xpress chemistry analyzer requires minimal
maintenance. Clean the exterior of the analyzer weekly with mild
detergent and a soft, damp cloth. The air filter requires cleaning
twice per year. Regular maintenance of the analyzer will help
assure reliable operation, depending on the environment.
CAUTION: Abaxis recommends only the cleaning methods
described in this section. If for some reason
another method is needed, contact Abaxis
Technical Support beforehand to verify that the
proposed method will not damage the analyzer.
Abaxis is not responsible for damage caused by
non-recommended cleaning methods.
9.1 Cleaning the Analyzer
Clean the analyzer's external case and display at least weekly.
Inspect the instrument casing during cleaning to ensure it is free
of damage or cracks.
9.1.1

Cleaning the Case

Clean the analyzer with a soft cloth, dampened with a mild, non-
abrasive detergent or cleaning solution, such as Simple Green
a 10% bleach solution, or a 30% isopropyl alcohol solution. Pre-
soaked towelettes (isopropyl alcohol) may be used as an
alternate. Purchase isopropyl towelettes from computer retailers.
Do not spray or pour any detergents, solutions or other liquids
directly onto the analyzer. Dampen a soft cloth or disposable
paper towel with the detergent, then apply to the analyzer.
