Clean the Bulk Inlet Module
The Bulk Inlet module is designed to handle sample tubes with the original manufacturer's
caps attached and the vacuum seal intact. If sample tubes with other types of caps are used,
or tubes have had the vacuum released between the tube and the cap, it is possible for a
sample tube to spill in the process of being loaded by the Bulk Inlet. Use this procedure to
clean the Bulk Inlet Module.
Warning
In the event of a spill, sample tubes that have already been loaded to the system may
be affected. Pause the system and inspect the sample tubes and modules for
contamination and clean as appropriate.
