DR5000 Pour-Thru Cell Kit Installation
CAUTION
Do not use the Pour-Thru Cell in tests that call for the use of organic solvents such
as toluene, chloroform, trichloroethane or cyclohexanone. These solvents may not
be compatible with the plastic components of the Pour-Thru Cell creating the
potential for equipment damage and chemical
exposure for the analyst.
The pour-thru module is an optional accessory for the DR 5000 Spectrophotometer.
Working with the module improves measurement accuracy, as zeroing, measurements
and measurement comparisons are carried out under the same optical conditions. As the
samples all flow through the same cell, errors attributable to the different optical
characteristics of individual cells are excluded. The module is designed to allow the
sample to be introduced into the cell without having to handle the cell in any way.
The pour-thru cell module is available in two path lengths:
• 1-inch cell
• 1-cm cell
These two cell types can be used over the whole wavelength spectrum.
Specification
Specifications are subject to change without notice.
Unpacking
Take the pour-thru module from its transport packaging and check for damage. The
pour-thru module set includes:
• Pour-thru cell
• Stand including mountings for glass funnel and stand pipe
• Plastic tube: inside diameter 1/8" for the cell inflow and outflow
• Stand pipe
• Rubber tube: Inside diameter 1/4" (drain tube for stand pipe)
• Glass funnel
If any of these items are missing or damaged, contact the manufacturer or a sales
representative immediatly.
