A wash station includes a wash nozzle for cleaning an exterior portion of a probe and a basin allowing for waste fluid to be collected. The wash nozzle includes a vertically-elongate cavity with side slits on opposing side portions. A fluid inlet port may be connected to a side portion of the cavity to provide fluid. Fluid may additionally or alternatively come from within the probe. The basin includes an elongate body with an opened end to receive and secure the wash nozzle. One or more access slots may be provided on opposing side portions of the basin. The probe passes through an access slot or over a portion of the basin and through a side slit of the nozzle to enter the cavity for cleaning. A geometry of the cavity allows the wash nozzle to fill to a predetermined level while waste fluid flows out through the side slits.

Probe wash station for analytical instrumentation

An improved energy tube-cable-router for securing flat cables and fluid carrying tubes and adapted to eliminate an undesirable pumping action of the fluid within the tubes by maintaining the longitudinal axis of tubes in a plane containing the central radius of curvature of tube-cable-router.

Flexible router for liquid tubes and electrical ribbon cables

An improved mounting clamp adapted to simultaneously secure flat ribbon cables and a number of fluid tubes to a surface and having a locking feature to facilitate assembly and release.
