Answer
« Purpose »
To remove any precipitate adhering to the electrode pins on the chip cover and verify that the electrode pins are not bent and the chip pressing cushion is not deformed or peeling.
Contact a Shimadzu sales or service representative, if the electrode pins are bent, or if the chip pressing cushion is deformed or peeling.

2. If there is precipitate on the chip cover surface, wipe it away with a wipe soaked in Milli-Q ultrapure water. Then remove residual water with a dry wipe.
3. Loosen the knurled screws (2PC) then open the chip cover and set it upright.
4. If there are adhered substances on the electrode pins on the inside surface of the chip cover, wipe it away with a wipe soaked in Milli-Q ultrapure water. Then remove residual water with a dry wipe.
CAUTION: Do NOT deform the electrode pins when removing the adhered substances.
If the electrodes become deformed, contact with the microchip electrodes will not be sufficient to apply the proper voltage to the chip.
