Flow Cell Maintenance

Chapter 3

Maintenance

This chapter covers maintenance of the Waters 2996 Photodiode Array Detector flow cell,
lamp, and fuse.

3.1 Flow Cell Maintenance

The flow cell requires maintenance when:

• The reference spectrum changes.

• The cell fluid leaks out of the drain tube.

• The Lamp diagnostic (in the Millennium

PDA Diagnostics window) fails and the

lamp status light is on (Table 2-1).

• The 2996 Detector causes high backpressure.

Note:

Conditions other than a dirty flow cell may cause decreased lamp intensity. For

more information, refer to Chapter 2, Diagnostics and Calibration.

Flow cell maintenance consists of:

• Flushing the flow cell

• Removing the flow cell

• Disassembling and cleaning the flow cell

• Installing the flow cell assembly

Caution:

To avoid possible electric shock, do not remove the 2996 Detector power

supply covers. The power supply does not contain user-serviceable components.
