Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the optimum performance of the UV/Vis detector. You are 
responsible for maintaining your detector by properly performing the maintenance 
procedures on a regular basis. If you have any questions on proper maintenance, or would like 
to arrange for a preventive maintenance program, contact your Thermo Fisher Scientific field 
service engineer.

To maintain your UV/Vis detector, follow the routine maintenance procedures in this chapter.
