Interior
The Visium Slide Stage of the Visium CytAssist has been designed to
catch and contain drips and a small volume of liquid spills. Occasionally,
use a soft lab towel to clean these areas with a mixture of mild detergent
and distilled water. For deeper, more thorough cleaning, it is acceptable
to use a 5-10% Bleach solution followed by a 70% ethanol or 70%
isopropanol wash. Dry using compressed air.
Do not use acetone or other harsh solvents
. Apply all standard safety
practices when using cleaners, and dispose of any generated waste in a
responsible manner.
