Labscale 500 mL Reservoir Setup
Note: All tubing lengths are recommended to minimize
recirculation volume. Longer lengths may be used.
After prolonged storage, the tubing may absorb a small
volume of water. As a result, the tubing color may
change from translucent to opaque, which is normal.
Air or oven drying will return the color to translucent.
