After Each Use: Immediately after use, clean the micro spoon to remove any sample residues. This prevents cross-contamination between samples.
Drying: After cleaning, ensure the micro spoon is thoroughly dried to prevent corrosion if it's made of metal, or to avoid any water-induced contamination.
Regularly inspect the micro spoon for any signs of wear, bending, or corrosion. Even small deformities can affect its precision and functionality.
Check for any residual stains or residues that might not have been removed during the initial cleaning.
Replace the micro spoon if it shows signs of significant wear, bending, corrosion, or if it can no longer be cleaned thoroughly.
Replace if the spoon is damaged or if its precision tip is compromised.
