6.
Carefully pour the cleaning solution from the vessel holding the first ion guide PCB
assembly into the holding container, retaining the ion guide in the vessel.
Tip:
You can reuse the cleaning solution for one subsequent cleaning.
7.
Fill the vessel with deionized water, to rinse the first ion guide PCB assembly, and then
discard the water.
8.
Refill the vessel with deionized water, to rinse the first ion guide PCB assembly a second
time, and then discard the water.
Note:
Ensure that you remove all of the cleaning solution.
9.
Repeat step 6 through step 8 for the second ion guide PCB assembly.
10. Fill both vessels with deionized water, ensuring that each ion guide PCB assembly is
immersed completely.
11. Place the vessels containing the first ion guide and second ion guide PCB assemblies in
the ultrasonic bath for 20 minutes.
12. Carefully pour out and discard the deionized water from both vessels, retaining the ion
guide PCB assemblies in each vessel.
13. Fill both vessels with isopropyl alcohol, ensuring that each ion guide PCB assembly is
immersed completely.
14. Place the vessels containing the first ion guide and second ion guide PCB assemblies in
the ultrasonic bath for 20 minutes.
15. Carefully remove each ion guide PCB assembly from its vessel, and blow-dry each
assembly using inert, oil-free gas.
16. Discard the used isopropyl alcohol, using an appropriate waste container.
