Sensitive optical fibers are exposed at both ends of the LightPipe flowcell (see
Thermo Fisher Scientific ships the LightPipe flowcell with end caps to protect these optical
fibers (see
). Do not remove the protective end caps until you install the LightPipe
flowcell. Replace the protective end caps for storage if you remove the LightPipe flowcell from
the detector.
