  Initial Installation
t Seal the dialysis probe (1) with the cover 
caps (2). This will prevent one-sided 
overpressure from occurring at the 
membrane in the dialysis probe, which could 
damage the membrane.
t Sterilize the dialysis probe
NOTICE
Dry sterilization is not suitable, as the membrane 
can become damaged.
Steam sterilization at 1 bar and 121°C. The 
prerequisite is that the membrane has been 
properly installed.
During sterilization, the dialysis probe must be 
filled with deionized water and sealed using cover 
caps, as the membrane can become damaged.
t Sterilize the dialysis probe and the bioreactor.
t Allow the dialysis probe and bioreactor to cool 
down sufficiently after sterilization.
t Fill the dialysis probe with deionized water 
using the single-use syringe.
t Check the ionized water for free flow.
y Now, the dialysis probe can be connected to 
the corresponding tubing set of the online 
analyzer.
