Turner Designs CYCLOPS 2100-900 Product Instructions

Introduction
The following information describes how to use the
Cyclops Solid Secondary Standards:
P/N 2100-900 In Vivo Chlorophyll, Rhodamine
WT, Fluorescein, Phycocyanin, and
Phycoerythrin
P/N 2100-904 CDOM, Crude Oil, Refined Fuels,
and Optical Brighteners
Features

Can be used in place of a primary liquid standard
once a correlation between a primary standard
and the solid standard is established.

Can be used to check fluorometer stability and/or
check for loss in sensitivity.

Provides a broad range of very stable fluorescent
responses.

Has an adjustment screw allowing users to set to
a desired signal.
Installation the Solid Secondary
Standard
1. Before installing the Solid Secondary Standard,
ensure that the optical surface of the Cyclops is
completely clean and dry.
2. Fully mate the Solid Secondary Standard with the
optical end of the Cyclops.
3. Rotate the Solid Secondary Standard in either
direction until you feel the indexing ball click into
the indexed position.

4. Use a flathead screwdriver to unscrew the
locking nut as far as it will go.
5. To change the signal level use the green
screwdriver provided and insert the blade through
the hole in the locking nut. Rotate the
screwdriver until it engages with the adjustment
screw that is beneath the locking nut. Rotate the
screw to adjust the signal level as necessary.
Turning clockwise increases the signal and
counterclockwise decreases the signal.
Insert the supplied green screwdriver through the hole in
the locking nut to reach the adjustment screw.
6. Once the desired reading is obtained, tighten the
locking nut so the adjustment screw is held firmly
in place.
7. Finish by noting the output voltage and gain
setting used (x1, x10 or x100) in the "Value"
space on the Secondary Standard label.
8. Note that the response of every Solid Secondary
Standard is unique. Hence, a new correlation
must be determined for every sensor. For future
identification, use the "ID" space on the label for
a unique identifier for the Secondary Standard.
Use of the Solid Secondary Standard for
in vivo Chlorophyll Applications:
1. Using your Cyclops Fluorometer, measure a
sample containing algae and record the response
and the gain values for that measurement.
2. Dry off the optical end of the Cyclops, attach the
Solid Secondary Standard to the fluorometer, and
adjust the Solid Secondary Standard to produce
the same response in the same gain as in step 1.
