Use only ultrapure water or a water-ethanol mixture (70:30) for ■ cleaning the dialysis cell. For samples that contain organic components (e.g. solvents), ■ use the PEEK dialysis cell (6.2729.120). This cell has an excellent chemical resistance to organic chemicals. ■■■■■■■■ IC equipment Dialysis 6.5330.100...

If air bubbles are trapped in the cell, then unscrew the PEEK capil- lary and the PTFE capillary, (3-3) and (3-6), from the outlets of the dialysis cell and wait until the air bubbles have escaped. After- wards, tighten the capillaries to the dialysis cell again. ■■■■■■■■ IC equipment Dialysis 6.5330.100...
