Use of Max-Light Cartridge Test Cell
Use of Max-Light Cartridge Test Cell
The Max-Light Cartridge Test Cell is recommended to be used for several tests
instead of the Max-Light Cartridge Cell (10 mm, V(
) = 1 µL) or the Max-Light
Cartridge Cell (60 mm, V(
) = 4 µL) because it allows running the test(s) without
any influence of the rest of the system (degasser, pump, sampler and others).
The results of the test cell are comparable with the Max-Light Cartridge Cell
(10 mm, V(
) = 1 µL) filled with water, e.g. Intensity Profile. Only the Absorbance
value is higher on the Max-Light Cartridge Cell.
If the profile of the Max-Light Cartridge Cell differs in the low UV range, then
absorbing solvents are in the cell and should be flushed out. See also
Below table gives an idea on the signal height variation of the Max-Light Cartridge
Cells compared to Max-Light Cartridge Test Cell.
NOTE
When using the Max-Light Cartridge Cell for tests/calibrations, it should be run at
0.5 mL/min constant flow with water. This assures that the light path is always
flushed.
