Leica VT1200 and VT1200 S – Microtome

Cleaning the blades

Always wipe the blade from the back of the blade (sapphire blade)

to the cutting edge. NEVER wipe in the opposite direction – risk of

injury!

Clean using an alcohol-based solution or acetone.

8. Cleaning and Maintenance

Before each cleaning, carry out the following preparatory steps:

• Switch off the main switch on the side of the instrument.

• Place the magnifier cover on the magnifier.

• Remove the blade from the blade holder and dispose of it safely.

• Pull the ice bath and buffer tray off of the dovetail guide and place them

on the stage.

• Remove and empty out the buffer tray. Dispose of the contents of the

buffer tray properly.

• Remove the specimen plate and lay it flat on the stage.

• Remove the specimen using a single-sided blade and remove any

cyanoacrylate adhesive residue from the specimen plate.

8.1 Cleaning the Instrument

Always put the blades back into the blade case/dispenser when

not in use.

When using cleaners, comply with the safety instructions from the

manufacturer and the labor-safety regulations at your laboratory.

When cleaning the outer surfaces of the instrument, do not use

xylene or solvents containing acetone or xylene. The finished sur-

faces are not resistant to xylene or acetone!

Ensure that liquids do not enter the interior of the instrument dur-

ing cleaning.

Instrument and outside surfaces

If necessary, the varnished outside surfaces of the control panels can be

cleaned with a mild commercial household cleaner or soap water and then

be wiped with a cloth.

The instrument must be completely dry before it can be used again.
