Product Usage Guideline
Operating Instructions
- Fill the cuvette slowly to avoid bubble formation in the flow chamber.
- Ensure stainless-steel tube connections are tightened securely before measurement.
- Use compatible instruments within the optical range of 190–2500 nm.
- Run initial calibration checks to confirm ≤0.3% transmission deviation.
Cleaning and Maintenance
- Rinse with deionized water immediately after use to prevent residue buildup.
- For persistent stains, soak in neutral detergent at 40–50 °C before rinsing.
- Avoid abrasive brushes that may scratch optical windows.
- Dry with filtered air or lint-free tissues to maintain window clarity.
Storage Recommendations
- Store cuvettes in a dust-free, dry cabinet with controlled humidity.
- Keep optical windows protected with covers to prevent scratches.
- Avoid direct sunlight exposure that can alter material stability over time.
- Separate used and unused cuvettes to reduce cross-contamination risks.
Troubleshooting Guide
- If signal drift occurs, check for micro-bubbles in the flow path and refill.
- Leakage around the tube indicates loose stainless-steel fittings or worn seals.
- Cloudy readings often result from residue; repeat cleaning with DI water and detergent.
- If deviation exceeds 0.3%, replace the cuvette to restore measurement accuracy.
