6.1 Actions in the case of a broken cell
Warning
Cells can contain dangerous substances. If the contents are released,
follow the safety instructions of the package insert. If necessary, take
corresponding protective measures (protective goggles, protective
gloves etc.).
Caution
Do not turn the photometer upside down to remove the liquid!
When doing so, the liquid could come into contact with electronic
components and damage the photometer.
The photometer has a drain device through which the contents of a broken
cell can drain off without causing any damage.
Proceeding after a
cell has broken
Note
After recommissioning, carry out the photometer monitoring for all
measurements (see section 4.14.2).
1 Switch off the photometer and
disconnect it from the power
supply.
2 Let the liquid drain off into a
suitable container and dispose of
it properly according to the
instructions of the reagent
package
3 Carefully clean the cell shaft using
a moist, lint-free cloth
4 Let the cell shaft dry.
