8.4 Cleaning the flow cell
Increased baseline noise and reduced sensitivity can be a result of a
dirty flow cell . Often it is sufficient to rinse the flow cell to restore optimal
sensitivity .
Note:
Dirty lenses or fiber optic connectors could falsify the measure-
ment . Do not touch the lens or the fiber optic connector lends with bare
hands . Wear gloves .
8.4.1 Rinsing the flow cell
Flow cell is removed from the detector .
Waste tube is connected to the flow cell .
The following solvents are recommended for rinsing:
Diluted HCl (1 mol/l)
1 ml/l NaOH aq .
Ethanol
Acetone
Syringe
Procedure
Process
1.
Fill the syringe with eluent .
2.
Inject it into the inlet of the flow cell and allow it to act for
5 minutes .
3.
Fill the syringe with water and rinse the inlet .
4.
Use a nitrogen stream to dry the flow cell .
The flow cell has been rinsed .
Check if the baseline noise has decreased .
If the rinsing does not have the desired effect, disassemble the flow
cell to clean the lens .
