Anoxomat Mark II CTS User’s guide
Chapter 4
Maintenance
This chapter describes the procedure for maintaining your instrument.
Make sure the Anoxomat is unplugged when you clean or maintain it.
4.1 Maintaining the Anoxomat
The Anoxomat requires little maintenance; however,
some points should be observed:
• Never allow jar tubes to hang loose when unattached,
as the system always tests all jar tubes to check for
attached jars. Instead, place unused tubes in the
holder on the back of the system.
• The housing of the Anoxomat can be cleaned with a
damp cloth only (never too wet!). Isopropyl alcohol,
diluted bleach or Halamid® cleaner may be used (see
Maintaining Jars).
• Visual checks for cracks and bends should be made
regularly on all tubing and external cabling. In case
of damage, new tubing and external cabling should
be ordered and replaced immediately. Use only
replacement parts from Advanced Instruments,
Inc. or an authorized distributor (see Supplies,
Parts and Accessories).
4.2 Maintaining jars
It is recommended that Anoxomat jars be stored
between 0˚C and 50˚C.
It is advisable to perform the following maintenance
every three months on the jars:
• Spray a little Teflon-spray in the snap-shut coupling to
keep the coupling lubricated.
• Clean and apply acid-free Vaseline on the rubber
O-ring of the lid, only with the standard jars. Clean
and leave dry, (no Vaseline) the seal in the ergonomic
jar lids.
To be certain that the jars are maintained correctly and
regularly, a small box with necessities to maintain all jars
working with the Anoxomat (standard jars or Ergonomic
jars) is available. This kit includes 10 replacement snap
shut couplings (these cannot be cleaned, only be
lubricated with Teflon spray), tools, cleanser and
lubricant. The Jar Maintenance Toolkit (Product No.
MT2000) is available from Anoxomat.
Jar cleaner and disinfectant
The Mart Jars are never to be cleaned with alcohol,
and are not to be exposed to temperatures greater
than 80˚C.
Advanced Instruments recommends the usage ONLY of
Halamid jar cleaner and disinfectant. Halamid is based on
latent chlorine and oxygen. It dissolves easily in cold
water (maximum concentration is 10% at a temperature
of 15˚C). In most cases 0.5 to 1.0% will be sucient.
Please dissolve 5g of Halamid in 1000 ml of water and
use a spray bottle to disinfect the jars.
Once the diluted Halamid is sprayed on the jars, wait 10
minutes then rinse and wipe the jars.
Anoxomat Jars are designed specifically for use with the
Advanced Anoxomat System
