2.7 Preparation for Storage or Shipping
2.7.1 Isopropanol Flush
Disconnect the outlet tubing from the pump. Place the inlet filter in
isopropanol. Use a syringe to draw a minimum of 50 ml through the
pump. Pump a minimum of 5 ml of isopropanol to exit. Leave the inlet
tubing connected to the pump. Place the inlet filter in a small plastic
bag and attach it to the tubing with a rubber band. Plug the outlet port
with the shipping plug or leave a length of outlet tubing on the pump
or cover the outlet port with plastic film.
2.7.2 Packaging for Shipping
CAUTION: Reship in the original carton, if possible. If the original carton is
not available, wrap the pump in several layers of bubble wrap and cushion the
bottom, top, and all four sides with 2" of packaging foam. Although heavy, an
HPLC pump is a delicate instrument and must be carefully packaged to
withstand the shocks and vibration of shipment.
