How Can I Be Sure That My Agilent 8453 Works Properly?

The quality of your measurement data is dependent on the performance of
your spectrophotometer. For a full performance verification external
standards are required. Standard kits are available for operational
qualification and performance verification (OQ/PV). OQ/PV kits for the 8453
are available as part numbers 5063-6503 and 5063-6521.
A quick check without the need of standards can be performed by the
Verification and Diagnostics mode's self test. This test can be performed
always after starting the spectrophotometer.
