Lint and dust can cause erroneous measurements due to fluorescent particulates. Use low lint labwipes to blot and remove samples from the optical surfaces after each measurement to ensure reproducible measurements. Note: Filtration of reagents and use of clean labware is recommended to avoid possible unknown fluorescent contamination.
