A Few Tips About Caring for Your System

WARNING!

Organic solvents cause acrylic to “craze” or crack. Clean all

Owl acrylic systems with warm water and a mild detergent.

Do not use ethanol or other organic solvents to clean Owl

products. Do not autoclave, bake, or microwave your unit.

Temperatures over 50°C can do damage to the acrylic.

NOTE:

If an RNase free electrophoresis system is desired, there are various methods to

rid the system of RNA contamination. For fast and easy decontamination, use

RNase Away®*. Spray, wipe or soak labware with RNase Away® then wipe or

rinse the surface clean; it instantly eliminates RNase. RNase Away® eliminates

the old methods that include treatment with 0.1% Diethyl Pyrocarbonate (DEPC)

treated water and soaking in dilute bleach. DEPC is suspected to be a carcinogen

and should be handled with care. This electrophoresis system should never be

autoclaved, baked, or placed in a microwave.
