Wash the flow cell with distilled water after every work session. Never leave reagents or serum sitting in the tubing overnight.
The BTS-350 features a high-performance optical system. Unlike many entry-level analyzers that use standard filters, the BTS-350 utilizes a that covers the entire range of routine clinical chemistry. Light Source: LEDs (long-lasting, low heat generation). Wavelengths: 340, 405, 505, 535, 560, 600, 635, and 670 nm. biosystems bts 350 user manual
Usually indicates a dirty flow cell or a failing LED. Try an intensive cleaning cycle first. Wash the flow cell with distilled water after
Allow the unit 10–15 minutes to reach the programmed temperature (usually 37°C for most enzymes). 3. Programming and Running Assays Unlike many entry-level analyzers that use standard filters,
Always run a fresh standard or calibrator when switching reagent lots. 4. Routine Maintenance (The "Golden Rules")
A Peltier effect controller maintains the flow cell at 25°C, 30°C, or 37°C.
To keep your BTS-350 running for a decade or more, follow these maintenance steps:
