Liquid
nitrogen
A Warning

Nicolet
If
you plan to use
an
MCT
or
other cooled detector in your
spectrometer (not available for the Avatar 360N model) or in an
accessory such
as
a microscope, you will need a supply
of
liquid
nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen is used to cool the detector. The
quantity
of
liquid nitrogen needed will vary depending on how often
and for how long the detector is used. In general, approximately one
liter
of
liquid nitrogen is consumed by an
MCT
detector during eight
hours
of
continuous use.
If
you are using a Continuµm or Centaurµs
microscope, 750 milliliters will provide approximately
18
hours
of
cooling.
Liquid nitrogen is extremely cold and therefore potentially
hazardous. Avoid contact with skin. Wear protective clothing and
follow standard laboratory safety practices to prevent injury. •
