LightPipe Flowcell
Drainage Connections
Thermo Scientific
The LightPipe flowcell contains optical fibers that are exposed at both ends of the cell. When
you handle the LightPipe flowcell, take care to avoid touching the exposed optical fibers. The
following photo contains a view of the exposed optical fibers at the inlet end of the LightPipe
flowcell.
Before you start the solvent flow from the pump, make sure that the solvent flow from the
outlet end of the LightPipe flowcell is connected to the drainage system.
To make the drainage connections
1. Insert the outlet tubing from the PDA detector into the autosampler drain manifold (see
Figure 1).
