Table 3 lists the LightPipe flow cell assembly parts.
Placement and Environmental Requirements
Place the UV/Vis detector on a benchtop as close as possible to the chromatographic
column outlet. This minimizes the length of tubing required to connect the LC column outlet
to the flow cell inlet. If you are using other Surveyor modules, place the UV/Vis detector
on top of the autosampler.
Ensure that the benchtop location meets the following requirements:
• A draft-free location away from an open window, air conditioner vents, or other
circulating air sources.
• A stable room temperature (± 0.5 °C) for applications requiring maximum detection
sensitivity.
• Clearance of at least 15 cm (6 in.) between the back panel of the UV/Vis detector and any
wall or obstruction. This clear space provides access to the back-panel connectors and a
free flow of cooling air.
Installation Tools
Installing the UV/Vis detector requires these tools:
• narrow-tip screwdriver (2 mm wide)
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
• 1/4 in. open-end wrench
• 1/8 in. hex wrench (supplied)
• 3/32 in. hex wrench (supplied)
• 9/64 in. hex wrench (supplied)
