Care of the Probe
Follow these guidelines to ensure that the probe remains functional for as long as possible:
 Handle the probe with care.
 Do not drop the probe. Dropping the probe may cause permanent damage.
 Clean the probe with distilled water or light detergents. Mild sonication is recommended.
 Do not place probe tip in a cool cleaning solution while tip is hot. This could fracture the
silica fiber in the probe. Allow the probe to cool for a minimum of 10 seconds before placing
the probe in a cleaning solution.
