Verify that the solvent flowing through the cell is not strongly absorbing in the
wavelength range to be verified. This will be the case, for example, if the cell
is filled with a mixture of 96% hexane and 4% ethyl acetate.
To perform wavelength verification:
1. In the Chromeleon 7 Command window: Click UV, click the Commands tab,
and click the button next to the WavelengthVerTest command.
In the Chromeleon 6.8 Commands dialog box: Click the plus sign next to UV,
click the WavelengthVerTest command, and click Execute.
The accuracy is verified for the following wavelengths: 360.9, 418.8, and
536.5. The results of the test (pass or fail) are logged in the Audit Trail.
Wavelength verification can take up to 2 minutes. During this time, data
acquisition is not possible.
2. If verification fails, perform wavelength calibration:
a. Open the Command window or Commands dialog box.
b. Execute the WavelengthCalibration command.
