Disuse
4.6.1 Preparing the Instrument Before Extended Periods of Disuse
When you do not intend to use the instrument for one week or more, follow the instructions described below to clean
each part. Failure to do so may cause remaining fluid to crystallize and clog the tubes, resulting in damage to the
instrument.

cap for the hemolysis washing solution bottle (that was originally on the bottle before opening, 1),
cap for the eluent pack (that was originally on the packs before opening, 3),
sealing screw (that was attached to the column when taken from its package, 2),
beakers (500 mL or more capacity:
1, small enough to hold in one hand: 1),
aluminium pack ( 3, for maintenance when the instrument is not to be used for extended periods of time),
gauze, distilled water, plastic bag (large enough to hold the bottle caps with nozzles)
and protective gloves

regulations for biohazardous waste.
IMPORTANT:
After removing eluent packs or the hemolysis washing solution bottle from the instrument, cap them tightly

results may be obtained.
Squeeze out as much air as possible from eluent packs before capping.
