Operation and Maintenance Guidelines for PL-DJ11

To ensure the longevity and optical clarity of the PL-DJ11 photoelectrochemical cell, researchers must follow specific handling protocols:

1. Thermal Sterilization: While the quartz body of the PL-DJ11 can easily tolerate temperatures up to 900°C, the PTFE lid must be completely detached prior to heating. The PTFE lid has a much lower thermal threshold and will deform or degrade if subjected to temperatures exceeding 250°C.
2. Cleaning Protocols: Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or brushes that could scratch the highly polished optical windows. Standard chemical cleaning using mild solvents or dilute acids is recommended due to the exceptional chemical inertness of quartz and PTFE.
3. Custom Machining: Lid configurations can be tailored to host active, counter, and reference electrodes concurrently. Please specify the required dimensions and positioning of circular or square ports when ordering.
