Operating Precautions
NanoDrop Eight spectrophotometers are designed to operate indoors in an
environment that meets our specifications. For details, see the site preparation guide
for your instrument.
Follow these precautions to avoid damaging your NanoDrop spectrophotometer
during use:
• Use a grounded power cord appropriate for your electrical service. If the
supplied power cord is incompatible or if it becomes damaged,
• Do not remove the instrument cover.
• Use solvents that are compatible with the instrument (see
• Do not use hydrofluoric acid (HF) on the pedestals. Fluoride ions will permanently
damage the quartz fiber optic cables.
• To prevent damage from spills, keep containers of liquids away from the
instrument.
• Do not use a squirt or spray bottle on or near the instrument as liquids may flow
into the instrument and may cause permanent damage.
• Do not attempt to remove the diaphragm around the lower pedestals as it is
permanently affixed to the instrument.
• Do not allow HCl, alcohol, bleach, acetone or any other solvent to remain on the
diaphragm for more than one minute or it may loosen the seals. If the diaphragm
becomes loose,
contact us.
CAUTION
Do not remove the instrument cover. Removing the cover exposes
the operator to sharp edges and delicate fiber optic cables. The instrument
warranty is void if the cover has been removed.
