2: Setup
8 041-00000-010-02-201106
The fiber inside the LWCC has a core diameter of 500 μm.
► Procedure
To connect the optical fibers,
1. Attach one end of an illumination fiber to a port on the LWCC.
2. Attach the other end of the fiber to your light source.
3. Attach one end of a read fiber to the second port on the LWCC.
4. Attach the other end of the fiber to your spectrometer.
Assessing if the LWCC is Free of Particles
Fluids need to be relatively particle-free. Particles larger than 20 m can be trapped inside the tubing and
can then block or scatter a significant amount of light.
► Procedure
To rid the LWCC of particles, follow these steps:
1. Pump the sample fluid through the LWCC.
