What are the critical points when using the Bioruptor?
• Control the temperature of the water in the tank – temperatures above 40°C can destroy the sonicator. The exchange of warm water with cold water or the use of the cooling system is critical. The Bioruptor® should not work overnight or during long time without any control as the high temperatures can cause the water to evaporate. • Always assure water is available for the Bioruptor® to function • Control the level of the water in the tank – if the level is not correct, the emitter of ultrasound can be destroyed. The tank should be always filled up to the blue line. • Always use the aluminium rings with the adaptors for the 15 ml tubes to avoid damage to the tank. • Empty the water tank by using the plastic pump. Do not tilt the water bath to pour out the water. The ultrasound emitter in the unit contains fragile mechanisms.
