A sufficient quantity of deionized (DI) water in a beaker
Procedure
1. Fill the 10 cc syringe with water and set aside.
2. Remove the cassette from the dispenser.
3. Use the screwdriver to open the Tip Holder. Put the top of the holder aside.
4. Lift the affected dispense tube from the holder and pull its tip off the tube.
5. Slide the tip, tapered end first, into the tubing on the end of the syringe.
6. With the tip poised to expel the clog and the water into the beaker or a sink,
discharge the syringe.
7. Fill and discharge the syringe as many times as needed to flush the tip.
8. Reassemble the cassette:0.
Put the straight end of the tip into the bottom of the tube (the tapered
end of the dispense tip is exposed).
Reinsert the tube into the Tip Holder. Seat the flared edges of the tip
into the molded slots.
Replace the Tip Holder cover with its two screws. The etched BioTek
label identifies the top of the cover (except for 1536 cassettes’ steel cover
plate).
