4.5 How to Replace the Pump Tube
This section explains how to replace the Pump Tube.
If the Pump Tube is continuously used without this maintenance, the Pump Tube may break and the buffer
may leak. It is recommended that the Pump Tube be replaced before the required replacement date.
• Pump Tube for elution buffer
The Pump Tube need to replace until about 50,000 extraction operations.
• Pump Tube for wash buffer
Replacing the Pump Tube is necessary approximately 3 years after the beginning of
QuickGene-810 use, or before performing 20,000 extraction operations.
Replace the Pump Tube with the spare one included in the package. If all the tubes have been used,
purchase them separately as needed.
When purchasing them, contact the Customer Center.
