    ® can be found on the instrument’s back side. Turn on the instrument. Subsequently, a boot screen appears displaying the MACHEREY-NAGEL logo. Afterwards, the instrument performs a self test which takes about one minute. Next, a pop-up informing about the results of the performance check will be displayed.

  • Page 14: Operation And User Guidance

    5.3 Operation and user guidance The spectrophotometer features a 10.1″ HD display with a projective, capacitive touch screen (PCAP). The instrument’s cover-glass is non-reflecting. It can be easily and conveniently cleaned with the microfiber cloth included in your package or with a soft cotton cloth.
  • Page 15 5.3.1 Operation of the touch screen The spectrophotometer features a 10.1″ HD display with a PCAP touch screen sensitive to touches of one or more fingers. This enables handling by means of pressing or wiping on the screen with either fingers or a touchpen (special pen for projective, capacitive touch screens).
  • Page 16 By pressing this icon, one can activate additional features as long as they are available in the selected menu. Test icon: By pressing this icon, basic features as well as MACHEREY-NAGEL tests and applications, such as special methods, scan, color measurement or test number can be selected in the method menu.
  • Page 17 5.3.3 Favorites bar The instrument allows you to add favorites to the start screen to personalize the instru- ment and to provide quick access to the most preferred functions. Initially, the favorites bar features the icon for NANOCOLOR ® tube tests. Other icons can be added to the favorite bar by holding and moving them to the blue colored area.
  • Page 18 5.3.5 List functions When editing text or numeric fields, it is possible that a selection window with a list will be opened instead of a keyboard. This list can be scrolled down by finger movement on the display. A suitable field can be selected by touching it. The background of the currently selected entry will be colored.

Methods Methods Open Mode, 28.10.2014, 10:57 UV/VIS II Basis Functions MN Tests Special Methods Scan Color Test Number Fig. 15: Methods 6.1 Basic functions 6.1.1 Factor The basic function “Factor” enables the determination of measurement results through the multiplication of an absorbance with a user defined factor. After having selected this method, a window will appear asking for the factor and the wavelength for the measurement and calculation.
  • Page 20 6.1.2 Standard The basic function “Standard” enables the definition of a sample’s concentration c=E x c on basis of the concentration of a standard solution and a zero solution. After c=E x having selected this method, a window will appear asking for the standard con- centration and the wavelength for the measurement.
  • Page 21 6.1.3 Absorbance The basic function “Absorbance” enables the measurement of a sample’s absor- bance against a zero solution. After having selected this method, a window will Abs|E appear asking for the wavelength of the measurement. By pressing the button a set of wavelengths can be selected. It is possible to add up to 10 wavelengths to the list.
  • Page 22 6.1.5 Transmission The basic function “Transmission” enables the measurement of a sample’s transmission against a zero solution. After having selected this method, a win- dow will appear asking for the wavelength of measurement. By pressing the button a set of wavelengths can be added to the list. It is possible to add up to 10 wavelengths to the list.

    6.2 MN tests 6.2.1 Tube tests With the spectrophotometer MACHEREY-NAGEL tube tests can be selected in different ways. All test tubes are labeled with a barcode. When the start screen is active or the device is in measuring mode, the barcode of the inserted test tube will be scanned automatically.
  • Page 24 6.2.2 Standard tests MACHEREY-NAGEL standard tests can be selected in different ways. It is, however, not possible to select a standard test by barcode identification. The appropriate measurement menu for a specific standard test can be manually selected in the test menu from a list through .

  • Page 25: Scan

    6.3 Scan The spectrophotometer enables to record a sample’s absorbance in the range of 190–1100 nm (for NANOCOLOR ® UV II) or 320–1100 nm (for NANOCOLOR VIS II). Dependent on the selected wavelength range, the scan ® is performed with the light from the halogen and / or the deuterium lamp. The measure- ment is defined against a zero solution.

  • Page 26: Color Measurements

    6.4 Color measurements The spectrophotometer provides the possibility to determine different color types and furthermore allows the comparison of these with stored color refer- ences. After having selected this menu through , one can decide via option buttons to perform either a color measurement or a color comparison against a reference (as far as a color reference has been defined via the color analysis menu already).
