You should observe the following care routine to maintain your instrument in good
condition:
• Immediately clean all spilled materials from the affected area and wipe it dry
with lintless paper or cloth.
If the sample compartment windows have to be wiped, make sure scratches are
not introduced.
Sample windows are optical components and you should handle them in the
same way as high quality cells.
• Do not leave samples, particularly those given to fuming or evaporation, in the
sample compartment for longer than necessary.
• If any type of sample handling system is installed and portions of it are left in
the sample compartment (such as a sipper and flowcell), make certain that the
system is cleaned at the end of the working day.
Generally, such systems should be filled with deionized water when left
overnight.
CAUTION
Risk of damage to Optics or Electronics
Take care not to spill liquids onto the spectrometer. Expensive damage
can result to the optics or electronics if liquids are spilled and run
inside the instrument or onto the keyboard.
Cleaning the Sample Compartment
You must clean the sample compartment every time anything is spilled into it. This
preserves the matt black finish, and prevents corrosion and contamination.
The standard sample compartment baseplates have drain holes in them to run off
spilled liquids to the benchtop underneath the instrument. You can place a sheet of
thick filter paper under the instrument, if required.
1. First remove the cell holder or other sample handling accessory from the
sample compartment.
