1. The rubber components on the Clear Stoppering Chamber may
eventually deteriorate and require replacement. The effective
life of rubber parts depends upon both their usage and the
surrounding environment. Check all rubber hoses and gaskets
and replace any that show signs of hardening, permanent set or
deterioration.
2. Using a soft cloth, sponge or chamois and a mild, non-abrasive
soap or detergent, clean the acrylic chamber.
3. Using a soft cloth, sponge, or chamois and a mild, non-abrasive

Decontamination
When freeze drying biological substances, it may be necessary to
decontaminate the system. A surface decontaminant should be
used to clean the accessible surfaces. The use of ethylene oxide is
not recommended because of its hazardous and corrosive nature.
