Настройка и подготовка

1. Разопаковане: Carefully remove the cuvette from its protective packaging. Inspect for any visible damage.
2. Първоначално почистване: Before first use, clean the cuvette thoroughly. Use a mild detergent solution specifically designed for laboratory glassware, followed by rinsing with deionized water. Avoid abrasive materials.
3. Сушене: Allow the cuvette to air dry or use a lint-free cloth to gently dry the exterior. Ensure no fibers remain on the optical surfaces.
4. Обработка: Always handle the cuvette by its frosted sides to prevent fingerprints or oils from contaminating the polished optical surfaces. Fingerprints can interfere with light transmission and affect measurement accuracy.

Инструкция за работа

The Q-214 Fused Quartz Fluorescence Cuvette is designed for precise measurements in various analytical instruments.

Обща употреба

1. Sample Filling: Fill the cuvette with your sample solution, ensuring the liquid level is above the light path but below the top edge to prevent spillage. The 3.5ml volume is designed for optimal performance.
2. Уплътнение: If required, securely insert the Teflon stopper to prevent evaporation or contamination.
3. Placement in Instrument: Carefully place the cuvette into the spectrophotometer, fluorometer, or other analytical instrument. Ensure the polished optical windows are aligned correctly with the instrument's light path.
4. Измерване: Follow the specific operating procedures of your analytical instrument to perform measurements.
5. Премахване: After measurement, carefully remove the cuvette, holding it by the frosted sides.

Поддръжка и грижа

1. Почистване след употреба: Immediately after use, empty the cuvette and rinse it thoroughly with an appropriate solvent (e.g., deionized water, ethanol, or specific cleaning solutions depending on the sampле).
2. Дълбоко почистване: For stubborn residues, a mild acid (e.g., 10% HCl) or a specialized cuvette cleaning solution can be used. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning agents. Rinse extensively with deionized water afterwards.
3. Сушене: Air dry the cuvette in a dust-free environment or use a gentle stream of clean, dry air or nitrogen. Avoid wiping the optical surfaces with anything other than specialized lint-free optical wipes.
4. Съхранение: Store the clean, dry cuvette in its protective case or a dedicated cuvette rack to prevent scratches and contamination. Keep it away from dust and direct sunlight.
5. Avoid Extreme Shock: As indicated on the packaging, avoid extreme shock or dropping the cuvette, as this can result in product failure.
