5. Using either rubber gloves or a lint-free cloth (but not bare hands), remove the sample
tube from the bowl.
6. Clean the interior of the sample tube with the brush supplied in the accessories kit.
7. Rinse the sample tube thoroughly with hot water. Then rinse it with isopropyl alcohol,
using a waste container to collect used isopropyl alcohol.
8. Dry the interior of the sample tube using nitrogen or helium, under a fume hood, with a
tubing extension long enough and small enough in diameter to fit inside the sample tube.
9. Insert a stopper into the sample tube, then degas the sample tube and stopper as described
in Degassing Samples, page 3-13.
If isopropyl alcohol is unavailable, deionized water may be used to rinse the sample
tube.
