Information
The Vernier Flash Photolysis Spectrometer is designed and manufactured for kinetic analysis of a
chemical specimen by means of transient absorption spectrometry. It is not sold, nor intended for, nor
should ever be used for any other purpose. The product should be used solely in accordance with the
instructions provided.
Use a compliant surge protector when exposing equipment to voltage. Failure to do so may result
in damaging the unit.
Do not use this equipment in or near water.
Use extreme caution in handling the cuvette when it is filled with liquid. Never fill or refill the
cuvette when it is in the sample holder. Failure to use a cuvette with a dry outer surface or a
cuvette that is leaking liquid can result in the flash housing to malfunction or short.
This system is designed to work optimally at room temperature or an approximation of room
temperature.
Do not disassemble the spectrometer case. Doing so may result in damaging the excitation light
source and electric shock.
If the spectrometer does not appear to be functioning properly, do not attempt to repair it yourself.
