I have used denture cleaning tablets dissolved  in DI to clean the ceramic
nozzle tip on a Vantage and I doubt if it will do any harm to use it on the
flow cells of Scans etc.   I am surprised that no one has suggested  what I
have used on dirty cells and general maintenance for years, and that is
Coulter Clenz  from Coulter.   It bears a strong resemblance to window
cleaner but I suspect there are a few extra ingredients.
