10.3 Manually cleaning or sterilizing the BIO X6
Always turn off and unplug the BIO X6 before cleaning it with ethanol. Wear
gloves to avoid direct contact with the bioprinter.
The BIO X6 has a chemical-resistant coating. Clean or sterilize it with >70%
(v/v) ethanol. Spray the surface and wipe it with a soft cloth.
After using ethanol, wait at least 60 seconds before starting the BIO X6. Ethanol
is flammable, and this ensures that all remaining ethanol vapor has been
ventilated. Failure to wait can cause equipment damage and personal injury.
