C.6 Cleaning and flushing the wash system (for external tanks only)
NOTE
These instructions are for a setup using an external supply tank and an external waste tank. If you
are using a combination of internal and external tanks, for example, an internal supply tank with
an external waste tank (or vice versa), please contact Agena Bioscience Customer Support for
assistance.
This section explains how to clean the supply and waste tanks with ethanol and then
flush the wash system with a 65% ethanol solution.
CAUTION

It is critical that the cleaning and flushing procedures be performed monthly to prevent microbial
growth in the wash system.
