Inserting the Flow Cell with Fiber Optics

You may also connect the flow cell with fiber optic cables. The
fiber optics are connected via an adapter.
UV light will cause the fiber optics to become blind with time
(solarization), making them no longer suitable for use.
Observe the following regarding the use of UV fiber optics:

Prerequisites No flow cell or test cell is installed.
Auxiliary material Screw-type cap fittings for the fiber optics
Procedure
Next steps Connect the capillaries.

Installation
Do not touch the ends of the fiber optics with your fingers, as
this could falsify the measurement.
Handle the fiber optics with care, avoid impacts or hard
actions.
Move the fiber optics carefully without using pressure or
bending it.
WARNING! 
Irritation of retina through UV light! Concen-
trated UV light can leak out from the flow cell or
the fiber optic connectors.
Switch off the device or the lamps.
Process
1. Remove the cap fittings
from the fiber optics
1
adapter.
2. Place the fiber optics
adapter into the open-
ing and slide to the
back until it clicks into
place inside the device.
3. Remove the screw-type
cap fittings from the
1
fiber optics.
4. Manually, screw the
fiber optics to the
2
fiber optics adapter.
5. Remove the cap fittings
from the flow cell.
6. Manually, screw the fit-
tings of the fiber
3
optics to the flow cell.
