Hi chemists,

I used capillaries P/N : G1600-61219 and would like to re-used them. Do you have a rinsing procedure? I used water to rinse them but after drying capillaries are blocked up.

Thanks

If you're using this instrument to push liquid through by pressure.
If the capillary is already blocked it will be very difficult to impossible
to get the liquid in.
If this happened during the drying step either the water was not clean or the buffer was not flushed out completely.
There is no fixed cleaning procedure as this is very sample and buffer dependant.

Sorry,

Mista
