Swedish term (edited):
macktank = marktank (possible misspelling?)
Selected
underground storage tank
Possible misspelling of the term "macktank" or "macktankar"?
I can be wrong but it may be rather correct spelled as "marktank" or in plural form "marktankar".
The translation of the phrase if spelled as "marktankar would be as followed:
"hantering av marktankar för HF Agarose basmatris" =
"handling of underground storage tanks for the use of HF Agarose gel matrix"
or
"treatment of underground storage tanks for the use of HF Agarose gel matrix"
Down is a link of a Swedish website with a attached PDF-file where this term "marktankar" is mentioned.

Thank you for clarifying this!
Now that you mention the term “mack” appears as a single word in the context then that changes the course. Here follows an explanation in swedish from the “Svenska Akademien Ordlista” which is the “Swedish Academic Glossary”:
“ belagt sedan ca 1920; initialord bildat till Mathiasson, Andersson, Collin, Key, namn på tillverkare av de första bensinpumparna med automatisk mätapparat”. In short the term “mack” stands for “gas station”.
The translation for “macktankar” would be translated: “gas station underground tanks”.
