Replace The Batteries - Hach DR 1900 User Manual

Most laboratory detergents are used at recommended concentrations. Neutral detergents, such as
Liquinox, are safer to use when regular cleaning is necessary. To decrease the cleaning times,
increase the temperature or use an ultrasonic bath. To complete the cleaning, rinse a few times with
deionized water and then let the sample cell air dry.
Sample cells may also be cleaned with acid, followed by a thorough rinse with deionized water.
Note: Always use acid to clean sample cells that were used for low-level metal tests.
Special cleaning methods are necessary for individual procedures. When a brush is used to clean
sample cells, take extra care to avoid scratches on the interior surfaces of the sample cells.
