Cleaning the Outer Surfaces of the NGC Instrument
During normal operation, spills and splashes can cause residue to form on the
module faceplates and fluidic lines.
Use a damp cloth to clean the faceplates. Avoid using excessive moisture around
the power switch and connector outlets located on the lower right and back sides of
the unit.
Clean the buffer tray. Rinse away any residue with water and empty through the
drainage hole.
Cleaning the NGC Fluidics System
Tip:
You can use the System CIP/Storage phase in ChromLab™ software to
clean the system’s fluidic path.
See
the
NGC Chromatography Systems and
ChromLab Software User Guide
for information about performing CIP (clean in
place)
.
Wash all fluidic lines with filtered 1 N NaOH solution.
Rinse the fluidic lines with filtered deionized water to remove all traces of NaOH.
Immerse all inlet lines in fresh water and rinse their external surface to remove
any trace of NaOH.
