Cleaning & Conservation guidelines

Cleaning guidelines

Keeping system components clean is not only a matter of safety for system users, but also a matter of proper system operation. We have prepared a tutorial in which we show different methods of cleaning the different components using the Photon Cap system as an example.

The detergents shown in the video can be substituted with others of similar performance.

If using an ultrasonic cleaner and a disinfectant, the recommended cleaning time is 5 minutes (at 3% solution).
If you don't have an ultrasonic cleaner, you can also do this manually by creating about a 4% disinfectant solution for 15 minutes.

Conservation guidelines

All our products are delivered in packaging that best maintains their storage conditions. Unless otherwise noted in the product data sheet, CortiVision spectroscopes should be stored under the following conditions:

• Operating temperature: 10 to 40︒C
• Storage temperature: -15 to 60︒C
• Relative air humidity: from 20% to 80%
• Atmospheric pressure: 700 - 1060 hPa

Warning: Rapid impacts, contact with sharp edges, immersion in liquids, or exposure to high temperatures or other extremal conditions may damage the unit's housing or components, leading to partial or complete disfunction of the product. Although the Photon Cap is a mobile device, intended for mobile research, we recommend handling the equipment with care.
