Store the verification plate in the envelope it ships with.

Only touch the plate by the black outer casing.

Never touch the stainless steel part of the plate.

Never attempt to clean the plate yourself. If the stainless steel face becomes contaminated, return the plate to LI‑COR Biosciences for cleaning and re-certification.
