Performance Verification
26 GENESYS 30 User Guide
The GENESYS 30 will log the results of all the tests that it does upon startup and any errors
that are reported to the user. When you call us for support to address a problem with your
instrument, the technician will ask you to place a USB memory device in the instrument
and go to the "Export Log" function, which will save that log to the USB memory device.
You can then email the log to the Thermo Scientific support agent. After a problem has
been resolved, our technical support agent may advise you to clear the log. Do not clear the
log unless advised to do so. It can store many months of information and deliver a lot of
useful information describing the general health of your instrument.
Be assured, NO information concerning customer samples is stored in this log. The log
contains instrument status information only.
The GENESYS 30 Performance Verification application helps you to perform some simple
performance tests to verify that your instrument is performing correctly. If a
spectrophotometer goes to the correct wavelength and measures the absorbance correctly it is
fundamentally working correctly.
