sample lines, fraction lines, cartridge position lines, and valve positions are purged with
ethanol:

Note: If the buffer and sample inlet lines and the fraction outlet lines are stored with
ethanol, make sure to wash these lines with water prior to starting a new method using the
“Clean All Inlet and Outlet Lines” procedure (section 9.3.8).
