cleaning is necessary. To decrease the cleaning times, increase the
temperature or use an ultrasonic bath. To complete the cleaning, rinse
a few times with deionized water and then let the sample cell air dry.
Sample cells may also be cleaned with acid, followed by a thorough
rinse with deionized water.
