Cleaning Environmental Control Components
It is important to regularly clean the environmental enclosure, including specific environmental
components. Components can come in contact with biological, chemical, and toxic agents.
Therefore, all cleaning procedures should be handled with care. We recommend that you
always wear powder-free gloves when you access the internal components of the enclosure.
See
Maintenance on page 189 .
CAUTION! Never use an autoclave to clean any of the instrument components.
Cleaning the CO
2
Tubing
The tubing within the environmental enclosure should be cleaned only if, during a visual
inspection, moisture has collected in the tubing or if contamination is seen in the tubing.
There are two tubing sections associated with CO
2
delivery. One runs from the
ImageXpress Systems Power and Options Controller located outside the enclosure to the
water reservoir within the enclosure; the other one exits the water reservoir and delivers CO
2
to the stage (plate) area.
