ActionStep
Disconnect the tubing from the top of the conductivity monitor and replace
it with a piece of tubing leading to the waste container.

Flush the conductivity flow cell with 25 to 30 mL distilled water, using a sy-
ringe attached to the Luer-to-SNAP connector.
3
Flush the conductivity flow cell about five times with 10 mL 1 M NaOH.4
Allow the 1 M NaOH to remain in the flow cell for about 15 minutes.5
Flush the flow cell again with 25 to 30 mL distilled water.6
Disconnect the Luer-to-SNAP connector and waste tubing from the conduc-
tivity monitor, and reconnect the system tubing.

Calibration of the conductivity monitor (see Section 5.4.2 Calibrate the conduc-
tivity monitor, on page 104) is recommended after cleaning, particularly if the
flow cell was very dirty and correct conductivity values are important.
