2 Cleaning undissected valve
Clean contaminated or blocked valves initially without dismantling
them completely.
Rinse the valve in eluent flow and counterflow direction using a
￭
spray bottle filled with ultrapure water, RBS solution or acetone.
The rinsing effect is further increased through a short treatment
￭
(lasting for a maximum of 20 s) in an ultrasonic bath.
Note
Longer lasting ultrasonic baths can damage the ruby ball of the
valve.
Only if this cleaning is useless, dismantle the valves separately and
clean the components.
3 Dismantling valve
Dismantle every valve separately.
Note
For dismantling the valve the tool for valve cartridges (6.2617.020)
is required.
Place the valve with the seal faced downwards above the recess
￭
in the holder.
Push the valve components out of the valve housing using the
￭
needle of the tool.
