4.5 Inserting the flow cell
Note:
Pay attention to the compatibility of the flow cell.
Before taking a flow cell filled with solvent into operation, please make
certain that the used eluent is miscible with that one used previously. Ot-
herwise purge the flow cell with a medium miscible with both the elu ents.
No flow cell or test cell is installed.
The device is switched off.
Unscrew the capillary for easier handling.
Eye injury
Irritation of retina through UV light. High-energy UV light can leak out
from the flow cell or the fiber optic connectors.
Switch off the detector or the lamps.
Performance decrease
Any components in the light path like fiber optic ends become
contamina ted when touched with fingers.
Avoid touching the ends without gloves.
Use alcohol and a cotton bud for cleaning.
