Storage and disposal
Storage/shipment
If the NanoSampler needs to be stored for a long time, or if it must be shipped to a dif-
ferent location, proceed as follows:
1. It is recommended that you thoroughly flush the system using a 5% methanol
DIwater solution. When the system has been reinstalled, in order to sterilize it, a
60% methanol DIwater solution can be used, which should then be followed
with a full flush using your standard transport fluid.
2. Disconnect and remove all tubing, except for the sample loop.
3. Switch off the NanoSampler.
4. In case of biohazard materials: remove and throw away the needle and other flow
path materials, in accordance with an approved waste disposal program.
5. Use the original packaging materials to package the NanoSampler; also place the
foam block in the tray location.
6. Dispatch the package; make sure any tax/import/export requirements are met.
7. Contact your local distributor if you need more information.

When the need arises to dispose of the system, this should be done in a responsible man-
ner. Follow these guidelines:
