 To measure a blank
1. Place the blank in the cell holder.
If a 6-Position Cell Changer is installed, place the blank in the B position.
2. To enter an absorbance or transmittance value for the blank, press a number key and enter
the desired value in the Entry field.
3. Press Measure Blank.
If a 6-Position Cell Changer is installed, place the samples in the cell positions and press the
corresponding cell position button to move the cell holder to the measuring position. The
absorbance (ABS) or percent transmittance (%T) measurement appears on the display.
If a Single Cell Holder is installed, remove the blank and place the sample in the cell holder.
The absorbance or %Transmittance measurement appears on the display.
