How do I keep my sample from spreading on the pedestal of my NanoDrop Lite Spectrophotometer?

There are many reagents and organic solvents that could compromise the pedestal surface properties, causing samples to flatten out rather than bead up. Use the NanoDrop PR-1 reconditioning compound as a rapid means of reconditioning the pedestals when the pedestal surface properties have been compromised and samples spread out on the pedestal. NanoDrop PR-1 Reconditioning Kits are available through Thermo Fisher website (Cat. No. CHEM-PR1-KIT)
