Baking O-rings 

Note:  o-rings  must  NEVER  be  greased  or  coated  as  this  will  add 
contaminants or could change the sealing properties of the o-ring. 

Note: The o-rings supplied with this kit have been pre-baked. 

Any o-rings 

not

 supplied by Owlstone Medical should also be baked 

to reduce the contaminants they hold. 

This is done by arranging them on a clean, stainless steel try, slightly 
overlapping to decrease the area touching the tray. 

Bake in a clean oven (preferably only used for this purpose) at 180C 
for 12-16 hours

, preferably with carbon scrubbed or “zero air” flowing 

through the oven to remove the contaminants that evolve from the o-
rings.

Cleaning the 01-0603 Travel End Caps 

Travel  End  Caps  should  be  cleaned  after  EVERY  USE  OR  after 
changing the o-rings by baking in an oven
