Question
  • 1 How long does the Nano hydrophobic coating on the quartz windows last when you need to clean them with detergent after every sample?

    The coating will last at least one year. EzDrop 1000 has a maintenance kit to prolong the lifetime of the hydrophobic coating.

  • 2 Does the EzDrop 1000 need any calibration or preventive maintenance procedures?

    EzDrop 1000 adopts a fixed optical path length design instead of using a stepper motor to control the optical path length distance, so no calibration is required. However, in order to maintain the excellent performance of EzDrop 1000, we recommend performing maintenance once a year. (Nano-hydrophobic Coating maintenance kit, Cat No.: T01-000182-00)

  • 3 How much storage is available? If the memory is full, are new measurements discarded, or are they stored by automatically deleting the oldest record?

    The memory is around 32 GB and free space is shown in the System icon. When the memory is full, the EzDrop 1000 system will display a request as to whether the oldest records should be overwritten or not.

  • 4 What is the measuring volume of EzDrop 1000?

    The smallest measurable volume is 1 μL.

  • 5 Can multiple samples be used for a single measurement?

    EzDrop 1000 only can measure one sample in a single run.

  • 6 Are there any sample temperature or pH range restriction for the EzDrop 1000?

    No, there are no temperature or pH range restrictions for the EzDrop 1000.

  • 7 How do I know if the battery is fully charged?

    The LED battery indicator shows the battery status.
    -Battery Indicator: (Blue) Fully charged
    -Battery Indicator: (Purple) Half charged
    -Battery Indicator: (Red) Almost empty
    -Battery Indicator: (Off) Empty
    -Battery Indicator: (Blinking red) Partial charge
    -Battery Indicator: (Continuous blue) Full charge

  • 8 How do I adjust the speed of aspiration and dispensing?

    You can adjust aspiration and dispensing speed by rotating the speed control wheel and pressing the aspiration and dispensing buttons.

  • 9 Can I dispense liquid in gravity mode?

    Yes, you can dispense liquid in gravity mode by pressing the dispensing button slightly (4~5 mm).

  • 10 What are the possible reasons for reduced suction efficiency of the BlueSwan?

    Reduced suction efficiency may be caused by a dirty or wet membrane filter or a low battery.
