Cover plate
The cover plate is delivered with all pieces in place. Before use, wash the cover plate carefully. After
each run, disassemble the bead producing unit and the nozzle. Wash with water or appropriate deter-
gent or solvent (according to the nature of the immobilization mixture used), rinse with water and let
dry. Be careful not to damage the PTFE membrane while handling the bead producing unit.
The other parts should be disassembled only as needed. Wash with detergent, rinse with water and
let dry.
When reassembling, check the integrity of the flat fittings and o-ring seals – replace if needed.
