To prevent contamination, wear clean, chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves
when touching the flow cell lenses or window.
•
Take care to prevent scratching of the flow cell parts.
•
Use a clean, lint-free cloth or a similar clean surface in the work area where you
are removing, rebuilding, and replacing the flow cell.
