3.1 Setting up the instrument
3.1.1 Packaging
The instrument is supplied in highly protective special packaging together
with the separately packed accessories. Keep this packaging, as only this
ensures safe transportation of the instrument.
3.1.2 Checks
Immediately after receipt, check whether the shipment has arrived com-
plete and without damage by comparing it with the delivery note.
3.1.3 Location
The instrument has been developed for operation indoors and may not be
used in explosive environments.
Place the instrument in a location of the laboratory which is suitable for
operation, free of vibrations, protected from corrosive atmosphere, and
contamination by chemicals.
The instrument should be protected against excessive temperature fluctu-
ations and direct sunlight.
3.2 Proposed setup
The 887 Professional UV/VIS Detector can be used as a detector with the
instruments of the 850 Professional IC, the 881 Compact IC pro, and the
882 Compact IC plus family. For many applications with photometric
detection, a post column reaction with the 886 Professional Thermostat /
Reactor (2.886.0110) is required. To build such a system, you will need a
887 Professional UV/VIS Detector and the following instruments:
￭ any 850 Professional IC instrument, or
any 881 Compact IC pro instrument, or
882 Compact IC plus
￭ the 886 Professional Thermostat / Reactor
￭ optionally: a 872 Extension Module for sample preparation
￭ optionally, if the PCR reagent is pumped with a high pressure pump: a
Metrosep BP 1 Guard/2.0 (6.1015.100) backpressure column.
An IC system with photometric detection and post column reaction can
be set up in in various combinations (see Figure 3, page 9).
