General procedures
Immediately after each use, rinse the unit with water and then rinse thoroughly with
distilled water. Do not use organic solvents, abrasives, strong cleaning solutions, or
strong acids or bases to clean the chambers. Handle the upper buffer chamber core
with care to prevent damage to the banana plugs. Allow to air dry.
Clean glass and alumina plates and spacers with a dilute solution of a laboratory cleanser,
then rinse thoroughly with tap and distilled water. Glass plates can also be treated with
(but not stored in) acid cleaning solutions. Do not autoclave or heat any part above 45°C.
