Preparing the detector 17
Preparing the detector
To install the detector, you must generally know how to set up and operate
laboratory instruments and computer-controlled devices and how to safely
handle solvents.
When preparing the detector, refer to the ACQUITY UPC
2
system
documentation and online Help as well as this guide.
Before installing the detector, ensure that
• it is not situated under a heating or cooling vent;
• the required components are present;
• none of the shipping containers or unpacked items are damaged.
If you discover any damage or discrepancy when you inspect the contents of
the cartons, immediately contact the shipping agent and your local Waters
representative.
Thermal wander management To mitigate thermal instability caused
by ambient temperature changes, the
detector’s insulation ensures air flow
across the optics bench, and its variable
speed fan runs at higher or lower speeds,
as needed. The fan normally changes
speeds in response to the thermal
changes. This feature can be optimized
for two average temperature zones or
disabled for maximum cooling of the
optics and flow cell.
Median Baseline Filter (MBF) A variation of the data mode, the MBF
decreases the effects of gradient
separations on the chromatographic
baseline. It enhances the UV detector's
baseline stability by decreasing its
curvature, making the development of
integration methods easier.
