Hello
I'm currently using the Jenway 6305 in my laboratory. Since today, the spectrophotomer is not working anymore : we can turn it on, but then the display is blocked on the Transmittance (%T) mode, with no possibilities to change to Abs. What sould we do?
Thanks in advance for you answer,
Lucie Thibaud, Reasercher.

Use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys to move the cursor to the absorbance (Abs) indicator on the menu bar. If the issue persists, ensure the instrument is properly calibrated to zero absorbance/100% transmittance before taking readings. If the problem continues, refer to troubleshooting guidelines or contact support.

SECTION 1 - Introduction INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION The 6305 spectrophotometer is suited to a wide range of applications in education, quality control, environmental and clinical analysis. This model is a UV/visible spectrophotometer covering a wavelength range from 198nm to 1000nm, with measurement modes for absorbance, % transmittance and concentration.

The instrument will automatically re-align the monochromator using spectral peaks associated with the xenon flash lamp. During this initialisation, the instrument displays CAL on the primary display before displaying the main measurement screen. Please note that the instrument will go to the last wavelength and measurement mode used.

SECTION 3 – Theory and Practice of Spectroscopy Measurements THEORY OF SPECTROSCOPY MEASUREMENT UV-visible spectroscopy is the measurement of the absorbance of light at a specific wavelength in a sample. This is used to identify the presence and concentration of molecular entities within the sample.
The optical layout of the 6305 spectrophotometer is shown below: Figure 3.2.1 – Diagram of light path The light from the xenon lamp is focused onto the grating, with 1200 lines per millimeter, which separates the light into discreet wavelengths.
GOOD PRACTICE GUIDELINES 1. For optimum performance all spectrophotometers should be sited in a clean, dry, dust free atmosphere. When in use ambient temperature and light levels should remain as constant as possible. 2. If required adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) should be monitored with regular calibration checks and a suitable Quality Control (QC) programme.

SECTION 4 – PHOTOMETRICS MEASUREMENTS The 6305 can perform simple measurements of % transmittance or absorbance. The sample is measured at one wavelength and at one point in time. TRANSMISSION MEASUREMENT MODE To select % Transmittance use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys to move the cursor to the %T indicator on the menu bar (refer to figure 2.3.1).
SECTION 5 – CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENTS The concentration measurement mode enables simple measurements of concentration to be performed. In this measurement mode it is possible to calibrate against a standard of a known concentration or use a known factor. The sample is measured at one wavelength at one point in time. To select concentration use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys to move the cursor to the CONC indicator on the menu bar (refer to figure 2.3.1).
A printout is initiated by pressing the PRINT key. If the sample number is unity, then the printout will include a header block. The sample number is incremented every time the PRINT key is pressed. The following commands can also be sent to the 6305 via the serial interface (using Windows HyperTerminal, for example):...

SECTION 8 – Maintenance and Service ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Ensure the external surfaces of the unit are clean and free from dust. The sample area should always be kept clean and any accidental spillage should be wiped away immediately. To give added protection when not in use, the unit should be disconnected from the mains supply and covered with the optional dust cover.
