Why is the wash solution dispensing unevenly?
If gravity feed is the pressure source, then the uniform dispension of the wash solution will not exist unless the container of wash solution is more than three meters above the harvesting system. Gravity feed of the wash solution is not recommended because this technique does not guarantee the correct amount of pressure. An inexpensive wash pump and reservoir is available, please call Inotech at (800) 635-4070 for more information. Uniform dispension of wash solution to all the wells or tubes requires sufficient pressure. If there is adequate pressure, but the dispension is not uniform, there may be precipitates or particles of debris trapped inside the processing head. Remove the processing head, soak it overnight in 10% formic acid and then rinse with distilled water. Make sure the formic acid gets inside the processing head. For a stronger cleaning solution, use the Inotech Cleaning Solution Kit (IHC-500). If the problem persists, call the Technical Services Department at Inotech.
