## Use cases

Install the syringe filter on the [dilution dispenser](https://help.sbtinstruments.com/encyclopedia/item-register/accessories/dilution-dispenser).

{% content-ref url="../../../protocols/do-it-yourself-diy/assemble-dilution-dispenser/replace-syringe-filter" %}
[replace-syringe-filter](https://help.sbtinstruments.com/protocols/do-it-yourself-diy/assemble-dilution-dispenser/replace-syringe-filter)
{% endcontent-ref %}

[Replace the syringe filter](https://help.sbtinstruments.com/protocols/do-it-yourself-diy/assemble-dilution-dispenser/replace-syringe-filter) of your [dilution dispenser](https://help.sbtinstruments.com/encyclopedia/item-register/accessories/dilution-dispenser) in these cases:

* **At the start of each day**
* When it is difficult to dispense liquid (because the syringe filter clogs)

{% hint style="success" %}

### [**Replace the syringe filter**](https://help.sbtinstruments.com/protocols/do-it-yourself-diy/assemble-dilution-dispenser/replace-syringe-filter) **at the start of each day**

Even within a single day, the syringe filter clogs after repeated use. If it feels like you need to press harder to dispense, replace the syringe filter.

Each syringe filter typically clogs after 200–500 mL of liquid dispensed (20–50 dispenses of 10 mL).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}

### **Indications of clogged syringe filter**

A squeaking sound may indicate a clogged syringe filter. [Replace the syringe filter](https://help.sbtinstruments.com/protocols/do-it-yourself-diy/assemble-dilution-dispenser/replace-syringe-filter) if squeaking occurs to maintain accurate and fluent dispensing.
