Perform with a new Fibrette Optical Component.
ViPER Passing Criteria: %T at 70.00% or greater.
Fibrette Optical Components (only if cleaning)
After each use of a Fibrette Optical Component, store in distilled
water in a small beaker or neoprene tube to keep them wet
(minimum 30 minutes). Fibrette Optical Components are not to
be stored in water for longer than one day.
Note: Do not soak too many Fibrette Optical Components in a
container, or they will clump together.
•
At the end of the day, pour out water and fill tube with
IPA, Methanol, or Ethanol, and let it soak for 2–5
minutes.
•
Pour out solution and lay Fibrette Optical Components
out on paper towel to dry.
•
Wipe entire length of Fibrette Optical Component with
a lint-free wipe, then spin both ends on a folded lint-
free wipe.
•
Place the Fibrette Optical Component back in the clean
tube for future use.
Fused Silica Sample Vessels
Clean after each use. Follow current procedures for fused silica
vessel cleaning. Water rinse followed by cleaning agent (IPA,
methanol, or ethanol). Rinse, then airdry or spray with
compressed air.
Cary Spectrophotometer
Restart the Cary once a week or before every run (if run > 7
days). This is recommended by Repligen for consistent
performance.
Coupler Check
Run a Coupler Check after cleaning Delivery Fiber.
The following are recommended cleaning solutions for wiping down SoloVPE PLUS surfaces:

Cleaning Delivery Fiber
Disconnect Delivery Fiber from SoloVPE PLUS
instrument by turning the nut counterclockwise.
Fold a lint-free wipe and firmly wipe the fiber
connector surface in one direction 3–5 times.
Use compressed air over connector surface (optional).
Reconnect Delivery Fiber, making sure the notch is
properly positioned in the fiber platform, and tighten
the nut by turning clockwise.
With no vessel and no vessel holder installed, blow
compressed air across the Detector Window in the
sample platform. Clean with a lint-free wipe if
necessary.
