Preventive Maintenance

In addition to standard practices for laboratory cleanliness, Thermo Fisher Scientific 
recommends the following preventive measures:

• Use only high-purity liquid in all “wetted surface” contact areas for the analysis, for 

flushing, and for cleaning. Use only high-purity gases when drying the same areas. 

• Thoroughly flush all plumbing (including the flow cell) after each use. Remember that 

water is the recommended “last contact” liquid.

Keep the flow cell absolutely clean to maintain low-noise operation. Organic films and 
residues are major causes of noise. Also consider the analytical solutions passing through 
the flow cell. If they pose a possible contamination problem, flush the flow cell with water 
or methanol. If this does not remove the contamination, clean the flow cell with a dilute 
solution of nitric acid, followed by a water rinse.

• Thoroughly flush and clean all peripheral plumbing, pumps, and so on, before 

connecting them to the flow cell. 

• To avoid particulate contamination and fluid path blockage, maximize the use of 

filtration. 

• Avoid leaving buffers standing in the flow cell for long periods. Plan your use to minimize 

standing time between runs. 

Tools Required

Performing routine maintenance on the UV/Vis detector requires these tools:

• A narrow-tip, flat-bladed screwdriver (2 mm wide)

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• 1/4 in. open-end wrench (supplied)

• 1/8 in. ball-end hex screwdriver (supplied)

• 3/32 in. ball-end hex screwdriver (supplied)

• 9/64 in. ball-end hex screwdriver (supplied)

Cleaning the External Surfaces of the Detector

Keep the external surfaces of the detector clean and dry. To clean the outside of the detector, 
wipe it with a dust-free cloth or a damp cloth (moistened with water only) to remove dirt or 
stains.
