1.4.2 Cleaning of vials & sampling containers
Vials, caps and sampling containers should be cleaned thoroughly after each test to avoid
interferences. Minor residuals can cause errors.
Residuals:
The vial must be cleaned according to the type of sample measured.
• Replace scratched vials immediately.
• Rinse vials thoroughly with deionised water after each measurement.
• Clean all glassware thoroughly with laboratory detergent and rinse with deionised water.
• Clean heavy contamination by filling the vials with 1:1 HCL followed by multiple rinses
with distilled or deionised water.
• Allow vials to air dry.
• Touch vials only at the top to minimise dirt and fingerprints.
• Wipe the vials with the delivered cleaning cloth to remove waterdrops and fingerprints.
