assembly’s rear support ring.

vessel so that the bottom of the assembly does not touch the bottom of
the vessel.
4. Add 1:1 methanol/water to the glass vessel until the hexapole assembly
is immersed completely.
5. Place the vessel in the ultrasonic bath for 30 minutes.
6. Carefully remove the hexapole assembly from the vessel, and blow-dry it
using inert, oil-free gas.
Caution:
To avoid vibration damage to the hexapole assembly,
ensure that the bottom of the assembly is not in contact with the
bottom of the glass vessel.
Caution:
To avoid recontaminating the hexapole assembly, wear
clean, chemical-resistant, powder-free gloves for the rest of this
procedure.
