Subject: [Ltkhkunta] Victor at Microbiology out of use
Dear all
VictorII at Microbiology, in room 206A, is out of use. The plates are not moving on the sample tray area, since the transfer table is full of salt.
The machine will be cleaned on Monday and hopefully it will work after that.
PLEASE be careful when using the Victor machine. This is second time within four months that we have to open the whole apparatus because of salt in the machine.
Most importantly, do not shake plates in the machine!
Before using the machine check that your plates are dry outside. If you find out that your test plate is wet after measurement, some spillover of liquids might be in the apparatus, do not disappear back to your lab just like nothing has happened. In case, please come to tell me or Sirpa Rannikko or Outi Kummu (at Microbiology ) that there might be liquid in the machine. We will call the tech persons at the faculty to open the machine and carry on the cleaning. The machine can be out of use for several days!
