condition
.
Cause: Hairline cracks in the jar.
(could result from use of alcohol to
disinfect the jar).
Action: Replace the jar. Never use
alcohol or high temperatures (>80
°C) to clean the jar. Advanced
Instruments recommends using a
bleach-alternative product.
Action: Sodium hypochlorite (i.e.,
bleach) solutions are not
recommended for disinfection of the
jars because they damage the inside
of the jar over time.

the lid.

Advanced Instruments.
Cause: Leaking jar–tube (black tube)

tube is bent, cracked,or torn, contact
your local Anoxomat distributor or

• Check other known good jars on
the same jar tube.
• Go to Hardware Tests and perform
a vacuum test on the jar tube.
If the jar passes the test, there is a
problem with the jar.
If the jar fails the test, then replace
the jar tube fitting.
If the problem persists, replace the
elbow swivel fitting.
