Multicell Transport for Agilent 8453 UV-visible

Spectrophotometer

In This Book

This handbook contains specifications of the eight-position multicell

transport (order number G1120A) and describes how install this accessory in

an Agilent 8453 UV-visible spectrophotometer. This handbook also includes

operating guidelines for checking out and using the multicell transport. For

details of how to operate the multicell transport through the Agilent

ChemStation, refer to the help system.

For service personnel there is additional information on maintenance,

adjustments, troubleshooting and repair. Part numbers are given for

replacement and exchange parts with an exploded view for better

identification of the individual part.

The eight-position multicell transport is not compatible with older Hewlett-

Packard spectrophotometers such as the HP 8450, HP 8451 and HP 8452A.

To control the multicell transport through the Agilent ChemStation, the

software must be revision A.05.xx or higher.

• Chapter 1 “Description and Specifications” gives you specifications of the

multicell transport.

•Chapter 2 “Installing and Operating Your Multicell Transport”describes

how to install the multicell transport in your spectrophotometer and how

to do an an operational checkout.

•Chapter 3 “Diagnostics and Troubleshooting”for some hints about

cleaning the multicell transport and for troubleshooting.

•Chapter 4 “Maintenance and Repair”describes simple maintenance tasks,

repair procedures, and the adjustments that are necessary after you have

made a repair.

•Chapter 5 “Parts and Supplies”helps you to locate parts and find out their

part numbers.

Description and Specifications

Description

The eight-position multicell transport (order number G1120A) is an

accessory for the Agilent 8453 UV-visible spectrophotometer. It is a

multiple-sample holder with multiple-position capability, see Figure 1. The

multicell transport cell holder holds eight cells in a rack which can be held at

a constant temperature with water circulated from a thermostatic bath

(provided by the user and not supplied by Agilent Technologies).

Figure 1 The Eight-position Multicell Transport

The holder is attached to the multicell transport base which contains a

stepper motor to move the designated cell into the optical path. A

water-driven magnetic stirrer can be fitted under the holder in one of two

positions—either under the cell in the optical path or under the cell to the left

of the cell in the optical path.

The multicell transport can be controlled by any Agilent Technologies

UV-visible operating software, having revision A.05.xx or higher, through the

accessory interface of the spectrophotometer.

NOTE The eight-position multicell transport can not be controlled by Agilent

Technologies UV-visible operating software with revision A.02.05 or lower.

Description and Specifications

Description

Cell Stirring Module

The cell stirring module is mounted in the multicell transport base to provide

magnetic-induction stirring in the cell at or adjacent to the measurement

position. The cell stirring module contains a plastic-cased magnetic impeller

that may be driven by pressurized water. When a magnetic stirring bar (part

number 9301-1161) has been inserted in a solvent-filled, standard 1 cm

cuvette the stirring bar rotates in tandem with the impeller magnet to

produce solution stirring.

Cell Holder

The cell holder has a capacity for eight cells. The outside dimensions of

individual cells must be 12.5 ×12.5 mm and the height from base of the cell to

the sample area 15 mm.

During an analysis, the position of individual cells is maintained by a flat

spring inside each of the cell compartments. The spring alone fixes the cell.

No additional fixing mechanism is needed, see Figure 1.

Optical Filter Kit

An optional optical filter kit (part number G1120-68707) may be used with the

cell holder to modify the incident light at the sample during a measurement in

case of highly photosensitive samples.

Description and Specifications

Specifications

The multicell transport generally operates under the same environmental

conditions as those specified in the Reference Handbook for the Agilent 8453

spectrophotometer. A maximum water pressure of approximately 3.5 bar

(50 psi) can be supplied to the thermostatted cell holder and to the

water-driven stirrer.
