4 Maintaining the MAGPIX
Instrument
This chapter describes the periodic maintenance that must be performed on the
MAGPIX instrument to keep it working according to the manufacturer’s
specifications.
Daily Maintenance
Each day you use the MAGPIX instrument, perform these maintenance tasks:
 At the beginning of the day — at the beginning of each day you use the
instrument, run the recommended routine. Check the Recommended
Routine section in the Maintenance view. On most days this is the Daily
Start Up routine.
 At the end of the day — at the end of each day you use the instrument,
run the Shut Down routine.
Weekly Maintenance
Clean the sample probe once a week to keep it free of any debris. Whenever you
remove the sample probe from the probe assembly, you must recalibrate the probe
before you read another plate. Therefore, cleaning the sample probe must always
be followed up with running the Adjust Probe Height maintenance routine.
