Maintenance and Cleaning
3.4.1 Cleaning
1.
Dirty surfaces of the unit, the cover or dirty holders,
shaking flasks, containers or grinding balls can be
cleaned with usual household detergents or alcohol.
Avoid aggressive cleaning agents.
For example, chloric agents can cause corrosion
•
After cleaning, carefully flush with (deminerilized) water.
Residues of cleaning agents may interfere with the
analysis of samples. Especially in trace element analysis
it is recommended to consider blank tests. These tests
should include any accessory and process material
together with a pure substance or agent or a well-
known test material.
2.
Shaking flasks and grinding balls are subject to wear
and tear, depending on the characteristics of the sample
material. Check for the degree of abrasion and replace
the parts regularly. Note the ordering information on
spare parts and consumables in section 4.
