9. In the next step, guide the complete unit back and down and carefully remove it through the
opening in the unload drawer.
Warning
Remove the complete unit through the slot in the unload drawer, keeping it as upright as possible to
prevent xylene from running out of the needle cleaning container.
10. Position the complete unit with the attached needle cleaning container upside-down in a
container of sufficient size with xylene. Allow the xylene to take effect for approximately
10 minutes.
11. Then take the complete unit out of the xylene bath and let it drip off. Removing the needle
cleaning container should now be easy.
Warning
• The needle cleaning container is very fragile. If the needle cleaning container cannot be removed
after the xylene bath, the recommended course of action is to immerse the complete unit with the
container in xylene for a long period.
• In the meantime, insert the needle into a container with xylene to prevent the needle from drying
out.
• Please note that the coverslip line from which the complete unit was taken cannot be used during
this time.
12. Wipe the complete unit, glass cylinder and cap with a lint-free cloth that has been moistened
with xylene and dry.
13. Carefully insert the complete unit, without needle cleaning container, back into the correct
position inside the instrument.
