Action Step
Pull off the detector and the flow cell from the monochromator. Be careful not to damage
the UV flow cell. 4
Note:
Make sure that the flow cell does not come into contact with any liquid, and that no liquid
enters the UV detector or monochromator.
Note:
While the UV detector is disconnected, protect the fiber connectors from dust or other im-
purities by mounting the rubber protective caps onto them.
Note:
Do not touch the optical fiber connectors as this will result in poor monitor performance.
If you accidentally touch the optical fiber connectors, clean them according to Clean the
optical fiber connectors, on page 327.
