This instrument should be operated by appropriate laboratory technicians. 2, General The apparatus described in this manual is designed to be used by properly trained personnel in a suitable equipped laboratory.
▲Shows visible damage ▲Fails to perform the intended measurements ▲Has been subjected to prolonged storage under unfavorable conditions ▲Has been subjected to severe transport stresses 5, Performance To ensure that the instrument is working within its specification, especially when making measurements of an important nature,carry out performance checks with particular reference to wavelength and absorbance accuracy.
CHAPTER 2 INTRODUCTION OF THE INSTRUMENT 1. Brief Introduction of the Instrument This instrument is a single beam, general purpose instrument designed to meet the needs of the Conventional Laboratory, This instrument is ideal for various applications, such as: Chemistry, Biochemistry, Petro-chemistry, Environmental Protection, Food and Beverage Labs, Water and Waste Water Labs and other fields of quality control and research.
2. Working Principle Different matter has different but special absorbance wavelength point. Also, when at the fixed wavelength point, the absorbance has some relation to the substance’s (Always transparent Solution) concentration and its thickness. The relation can be concluded as the following Formula which is called Lambert-Beer Law. T= I/I A=KCL= -log I/I Absorbance...

CHAPTER 5 Instrument Maintenance To keep the instrument work in good condition, constant maintain is needed. 1. Daily Maintain 1) Check the compartment After measurement, the cuvettes with sample solutions should be taken out of the compartment in time. Or the volatilization of the solution would make the mirror go moldy.
Glass cuvettes used in UV Range Use Silicon Cuvettes. No stable Sample Improve the sample Much higher sample concentration Dilute the sample Low voltage or unstable power supply Improve the power condition Lights defect Replace a new lamp ...
