How frequently you clean these lenses depends on the type and quantity of the compounds
that you analyze. Remove the lenses from the API source interface cage before cleaning them.
No tools are needed to remove or install these components.
To clean the RF lens, exit lens, MP00 RF lens, and lens L0, follow these procedures:
