Maintenance
If collection tubes are used routinely, VacMaster will
require little or no cleaning. If the ‘two tank’ option is used
for biological or hazardous samples, prompt removal and
disposal of the collected liquids will reduce the amount of
routine cleaning needed.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting
If the glass tank needs to be cleaned, please use water and
mild laboratory detergents. Do not use scouring powders or
pads, or anything else that would scratch or damage the tank.
Any damage to the glass tank can severely increase the risk
of implosion and serious personal harm.
