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.

The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...-

Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...-
