Clean the titration syringe
Introduction
A dirty syringe can result in poor data.
Detergent cleaning of the syringe between runs is recommended if performing reverse
titrations (protein is loaded into the syringe). If poor data persists after extensive cell clean-
ing, remove the syringe for cleaning.
