Operating Manual
6.6 Guidelines for Use of Flow Cells
NOTICE
Flow cells are sensitive to damage and contamination.
• Handle flow cells with care. See Guidelines for Handling Flow Cells
( } page 136) .
• Observe the guidelines below when operating the detector.
Operating conditions
Observe the specified maximum pressure limit for the flow cell. See the
specifications for flow cells in
Flow Cells (

page 168) .
Troubleshooting flow cells
If a flow cell leaks, stop the pump flow, remove the flow cell from the
detector as quickly as possible, thoroughly remove all liquid from the
flow cell opening in the detector, and replace the flow cell.
Interrupted operation
If the pump flow is interrupted, take appropriate measures to protect
the flow cell.
• If data acquisition is still running, turn data acquisition off.
• Never leave any substances, particularly any aggressive solvents, in
the flow cell without flow for a longer time.
TIP To prevent dust particles from causing damage to the detector optics
during periods of detector inactivity, install a flow cell or reinstall the
flow cell cover.
Storage
• To avoid the growth of algae, the flow cell should not be filled with
pure water. Add 10% HPLC-grade isopropanol, for example.
• Close the flow cell inlet and outlet using the flow cell plugs that were
installed when the flow cell was shipped. Using different plugs and
tightening them may destroy the flow cell.
