Changing tungsten lamps in perkin elmer series 200 DAD

[shoom]

Any tips?

Do you need UV safety specs?

[DR]

1) the lamp should be off when you go to change it, so I'd not worry about UV specs.

2) Make sure the lamp's bulb is very clean and that you leave no fingerprints on it.

3) Find your detector's specs for sample and/or reference energy and make sure that they are met (and that this represents an improvement over readings from the old lamp) after the new lamp is installed.
