Page 3: Qpod Temperature-Controlled Sample Compartment For Fiber Optic Spectroscopy
Manual Version 07-13-11 OVERVIEW 2. one of three optical kits: ABSKIT - optics for absorbance or The qpod is a complete sample compartment for transmission measurements: fiber optic spectroscopy, including a Peltier- a. 2 QCL-UV collimating lenses controlled cuvette holder with magnetic stirring, and... -
Page 4: System Setup
SYSTEM SETUP 1. If desired, fasten the qpod down to a table or Optics to measure absorption optical breadboard. The holes in the corners of the base are located and sized such that it will attach via ¼-20 screws to a table with 1-inch centers or with M-6 screws to a table with 25 mm centers. - Page 5 3. Screw the empty optical assembly all the way As shown in Figure 2, to set the qpod up for into the appropriate position in the qpod. If you fluorescence measurements insert an imaging lens are using an accessory component such as a to focus light from a source fiber into the center of filter holder or polarizer.

Insufficient flow will allow the heat exchanger temperature to rise. If the Note: The qpod is intended to hold a cuvette with a temperature of the heat exchanger exceeds a standard wall thickness of 1.25 mm and total width certain cutoff value, temperature control will be of 12.5 mm. -
Page 7: Error Conditions
One or more of these error conditions is likely to arise if the electrical connection between the Temperature Controller and the qpod is not secure. 9. Set the target temperature using the up and In this case, turn off the power to the unit, check the down arrows. -

It is important that the driver software be loaded before connecting a USB cable between the controller and the computer. Contact Quantum Northwest for further information. Quantum Northwest can provide a control program written specifically for control of all functions of the temperature controllers. Ask for program T-App. - Page 11 (10 – 13) - single sample holder using a TC 125 controller (20 – 22) - two sample holders using a TC 225 controller (30 – 31) - multiple cuvette holder using a TC 425 controller (32) - multiple cuvette holder using a TC 125 controller, 2.
- Page 12 [F1 HT ?] What is the current temperature of the heat exchanger? ..[F1 CT 39] The current heat exchanger temperature is 39 ºC. [F1 HT +3] Automatically report heat exchanger temperature every 3 seconds [H1 CT -] Stop periodic heat exchanger temperature reports. 8.
- Page 13 11. Temperature Ramping [F1 RS S 3] Set the time increment to 3 seconds (must be a positive integer). [F1 RT S 10] Set the temperature increment to 0.1 ºC (a positive integer, units are hundredths of a degree). [F1 TL +] Ramp the sample and reference identically.
- Page 14 [F2 PL ?] What is the device location (position)? ..[F2 DL 2] Device is in position 2. (If reply is 0, device is not initialized.) [F2 DD 2] Set speed to 2 (acceptable range 2-250 with 2 being fast, 250 being slow).
