Clean the cell
Chemical exposure hazard. Obey laboratory safety procedures and wear all of the personal protective
equipment appropriate to the chemicals that are handled. Refer to the current safety data sheets
(MSDS/SDS) for safety protocols.
The instrument sensor has a cell assembly that moves the water through the laser beam. A cell
becomes dirty when the sample dries out in the flow cell and small quantities of residue stay on the
flow cell surface. This can have an effect on the calibration of the instrument and the clean sensor fail
indicator LED comes on. Do the procedure that follows and refer to
Items to collect:
• Supplied cleaning brush
• Supplied cleaning solution

Excursions of high turbidity, minerals (iron, manganese, calcium, etc.) and algae or other
microbiological growths can increase the cleaning frequency.
