Care and maintenance
Cleaning
• Do not autoclave or heat any part above 45 °C.
• Do not expose to alcohols or organic solvents!*
• Never use abrasive detergents.
• If using radioactive reagents, decontaminate
the unit with a cleaning agent such as
Contrad 70
™ or Decon 90 ™ .
Rinse the tank, cassettes, and sponges with
distilled water immediately after each use. Allow
the unit to air dry completely. Periodically wash
with a dilute solution of a mild detergent.
When cleaning the unit, leave the electrode
panels in place. If they must be switched (not
recommended), take great care to not stretch
or break the platinum wire: carefully pull the
panel forward far enough to clear the retaining
lip (<5 mm). With one hand grab the banana
plug support (not the banana plug) and with the
other hand grab the panel at a point well away
from the wire. Lift the panel out.
* Use ≤20% methanol (methyl
alcohol) in transfer buffers is the
only exception.
