1. Support the bottom of the reagent bottle and release the holding clamp with one hand. Turn
the thumbscrew counterclockwise to release the reagent bottle. Unscrew the white bottle
cap and gray tubing connector assembly. Since the reagent contains concentrated acid,

laboratory fume hood. Wear rubber gloves and eye goggles. Unscrew the cap and pour the
old reagent into a suitable waste container.
