Features

Cleaning or Replacing DAD/MWD Flow Cells

  • A decrease in detector performance or unusual noise levels may mean you have dirty flow cell windows
  • Clean and reassemble one side of the flow cell before beginning the other side to prevent mixing the front and rear gaskets, which have different hole diameters
  • While cleaning or replacing flow cell windows, if the washers fall out of the window assembly, they must be inserted in the correct order with a PTFE ring to prevent any leaks from the flow cell window
  • Clean the cell body with water or isopropanol
  • After opening the cell you should always use a new gasket
