of the tubes is necessary, depending of course on the liquid used.
For example, crystallizable buffer solution requires immediate
washing and cleaning of the tubes after use.
3. If there is a longer break, rinse the tubings with distilled and filtered
laboratory-grade water. Refer to the sections under "Regular and
preventive maintenance" on page 68.
Warning Before a prolonged standby, run the tubings dry to avoid
microbial growth from developing.
