We use a 10% Domestos solution made up with distilled water
and sterilefiltered. This we keep for up to 3 month in the
dark at room temperature without problems. Domestos contains
15% hypochlorit (in the UK market). It forms a precipitate
with (hard) tab water wich you would not want in the FCM.

Hello..

I'm just interested in the current washing - cleanup solution that people
use for cleaning their machines. Our FACScans systematically get clogged up
because the hypochlorite solution (supposedly 1 %) forms cristals in the
stock solution.. the only solution is to prepare fresh every day (which I'm
too lazy to do...).

Is there anyother detergent/solution that people use to cleanup that
doesn't have this problem ??

Thanks a lot,

Matthias
