Sample degradation and contamination of the instrument
Metal parts in the flow path can interact with the bio-molecules in the sample leading
to sample degradation and contamination.
➔ For bio-inert applications, always use dedicated bio-inert parts, which can be
identified by the bio-inert symbol or other markers described in this manual.
➔ Do not mix bio-inert and non-inert modules or parts in a bio-inert system.
