• Clean glassware with 1:1 Hydrochloric Acid Solution (Cat. No. 884-49), followed by a distilled water rinse. Do not clean glassware
with commercial detergent.
• Wear UV safety goggles while the UV lamp is on.
• Do not handle the UV lamp surface. Fingerprints will etch the glass. Wipe the lamp with a soft, clean tissue between samples.
• The digestion in step 7 is normally completed in less than 10 minutes. However, contaminated samples or a weak lamp can cause
incomplete phosphate conversion. Check conversion efficiency by running a longer digestion and seeing if the readings increase.
