Cleaning the Super FastPrep-2
Make sure to disconnect the rotary tool from the Super FastPrep-2 before
cleaning. Wear protective gloves (latex/nitrile) during all cleaning procedures.
Clean the Super FastPrep-2 as necessary. The exterior of the Super FastPrep-2 can be
cleaned with a damp (water, dilute ethanol) paper towel or similar. Clean the lysis cham-
ber (exposed when lid is open) by wiping down the inner walls and tube holder. Allow all
components to air dry prior to use.
Should a lysis tube fracture or break in the sample chamber during
processing, stop processing and immediately clean it as recommended above.
