Cell Test - Agilent Technologies 1200 Infinity Series User Manual

Cell Test

The cell test measures the intensity of the UV-lamp over the full wavelength
range (190 - 690 nm), once with the Max-Light Cartridge Cell installed, and
once with the Max-Light Cartridge Test Cell. The resulting intensity ratio is a
measure of the amount of light absorbed by the Max-Light Cartridge flow cell.
The test can be used to check for dirty or contaminated flow cell windows.
When the test is started, the 1-nm slit is moved into the light path
automatically (G4212A only). On the G4212B, the 4 nm fixed slit is used.
This test should be performed initially with a new detector/flow cell. The
values should be kept for later reference/comparison.
When In case of low intensity or noise and drift problem.
