2 First Steps with the Fluorescence Detector
Evaluating The System Background
The example below uses water.
1 Pump solvent through your system.
2 Set the fluorescence scan range under FLD special setpoints according to
your needs.
3 Set PMT gain to 16.
4 Define a data file name and take a fluorescence scan. After the scan is
completed, the isoabsorbance scan results appear, see Figure 25 on page 59.
NOTE
The scan time will increase when the range is enlarged. With the default values, the scan
takes about 2 minutes.
