8.7 Cleaning MONOLIGHT 3096 Injector Pumps and Tubings
The MONOLIGHT 3096 is equipped with a syringe injector sys-
tem and Teflon tubings. All materials coming into contact with
reagents are chemically resistant.
Daily routine cleaning procedure:
Use deionized or distilled to remove the reagents that are still
inside the injection system.
Place the priming container on the microplate loading area. Start
your measurement protocol, then initialize the injector(s) (at the
end of a measurement this step may be skipped.)
1. Click on the <Priming> button and select the injector(s) you
want to clean.
2. Select a volume of 500 µl and 10 injection cycles (strokes).
3. Click <OK> to start the wash process.
8.8 Basic Cleaning Before or After Long Breaks
Acid/Base Cleaning Procedure
This basic cleaning must be done before or after the injector
has not been in operation for a longer period of time.
To keep the fluids for about 10 minutes in the syringes, move
the syringe pistons to the extended position and hold them
there. To do this you must use a cleaning protocol.
Therefore, create your own cleaning protocol from the protocol
you are using for measurement: set the injector volumes as
150 µl and then save the protocol under another name (e.g.,
cleaning-protocol_acb).
