• HPLC-grade methanol
• Belleville spring washer

To disassemble and clean the flow cell (and lenses):
1. Use the TORX T10 screwdriver to remove the three screws that secure one of the
lens holder assemblies (Figure 3-3).

2. Use the small, flat-blade screwdriver to gently pry the lens assembly from the flow
cell body at the slots.
3. Use a lens tissue or a nonparticulating swab to wipe the lens with methanol.
STOP
Attention: Solvents other than methanol may damage a disassembled flow
cell. In normal use, the gasket protects the lens holder from solvents.
