In order to ensure that the instrument and its constituent parts will operate properly for a
long period of time, it is crucial to follow the instructions described on this manual. The
lifespan of the instrument and its components will depend heavily on how the equipment is
used and well maintained. Always make sure to use the instrument according to the following
guidelines:
-
The instrument must be kept in a dry and clean environment.
-
Avoid applying tap water as bath liquid in the thermostatic water bath, since the
minerals included in this type of water might negatively impact the material of the
bath chamber (calcification or corrosion of stainless steel).
-
The flow cell units cannot be opened and are considered consumables.
-
Reactors and stirrers are consumables that can be autoclaved.
-
To clean the detection unit, wipe it with a damp piece of cloth and, if required, a gentle
form of detergent. Water must not get into the machine, since it can harm electrical
components.
-
The used NaOH solution must NOT be poured into the sink. It should be saved in
dedicated vessels and disposed as hazardous waste.
All consumables are easily replaceable in the instrument. The spare parts can be ordered from
BPC Instruments. For further information, please visit our webshop (link below):
