Installation
VT-03 flow cell with HyREF or ISAAC
The flow cell is assembled properly when it arrives. The force on the bolts is
pre-set to 13 Ncm
(“a little bit beyond fingertight”). Familiarise yourself with
this force, since over-tightening of the bolts strongly deteriorates the S/N ratio
and eventually the cell itself. Also, be aware that the black marks on both
blocks should be in line. This ensures the best performance. For instructions
about assembling the cell refer to page 20.
