Hello All, the covaris S2 maintenance schedule says I should use 10% bleach for a monthly rinse, can I use a HazTab soultion or household bleach? or should I make up a NaOCL solution?

Covaris bleaching
A simple apx 10% solution of a household bleach like Clorox will be fine. No need to mix up NaOCl from scratch, but if you do, remember that Clorox is already a 6% (roughly) solution of NaOCl. You are looking for a relatively mild solution.
After running the bleach solution to retard algae, rinse the system with clean water a couple of times, and keep in mind that once diluted, bleach has a shelf life, so it's probably best to mix new each time.
I hope this answers your question.Last edited by CovarisQual; 10-13-2011, 01:25 PM.

NGS has revolutionized clinical microbiology by offering new ways to identify and surveil pathogens without prior knowledge of the target. One popular approach is 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, which targets specific microbial markers. But studies are increasingly incorporating shotgun metagenomics, a technique that sequences all DNA from a sample without targeting specific microbial markers. This approach allows more detailed taxonomic classification, detection...Today, 06:46 AM -
Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM
