• Clean the Pour-Thru cell and all labware as specified in Treating Analysis Labware on page 4.
• Protect the Pour-Thru cell from contamination when not in use by inverting a small beaker over the top of the glass funnel.
• Final samples will contain molybdenum. In addition, final samples will have a pH less than 2 and are considered corrosive (D002)
by the Federal RCRA. Consult the Material Data Safety Data Sheet for information specific to the reagents used.
• Install the Pour-Thru Cell into the adapter so that the long pathlength (1-in./25-mm) is parallel to the front of the instrument.
