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.
