rinseable

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'as surfaces of labware may be with brine?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'as surfaces of labware may be with brine?' is the wordplay.
'surfaces of' means to remove the middle letters.
'may be with' is an anagram indicator.
'labware' with its centre taken out is 'le'.
'as'+'le'='asle'
'asle' anagrammed with 'brine' can make 'RINSEABLE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
