NOTE
If samples are frequently changed, you may need to increase the flow rate through
the sample compartment.
Drain outlet
In case of spills within the sample compartment, liquid will drain out of the drain
outlet located under the module. To avoid spilling liquid onto the benchtop, the Cary
3500 UV-Vis needs a drain vessel and tubing that will fit over the 6 mm OD sized
tubing of the drain outlet for disposal of any fluids spilled in sample compartment.
You must supply drain tubing and vessel that is suitable for the solvent in use.
To install the drain tubing, slide the drain tubing over the drain outlet tubing on the
module and then insert the free end of the tubing into the drain vessel.
A chemically inert container, not glass or of a narrow-necked style, to hold a
minimum of 2 liters (4 pints) of waste must be provided by the user. It should be
located below the sample compartment where it is protected by the bench and in
full view of the operator.
