5.3.4 Lamp troubleshooting
An apparent lamp-related problem could be caused by air bubbles in the flow cell or
incorrect installation of the lamp. Before replacing the lamp, ensure the detector cell
is filled with solvent and free of air bubbles, and the current lamp is installed correctly.
Flushing the flow cell can sometimes correct the problem of apparently low lamp
intensity, which can occur when you have not operated the detector for 2000 hours or
more.
Mobile phase absorbance affects apparent lamp intensity. For example, water or
acetonitrile is more transparent than methanol at wavelengths below 220 nm.
