    The instrument will automatically re-align the monochromator at zero order wavelength. During this initialisation, the instrument displays CAL on the primary display before displaying the main measurement screen. Please note that the instrument will go to the last wavelength and measurement mode used.

  • Page 14: Section 3 - Theory And Practice Of Spectroscopy Measurements

    SECTION 3 – Theory and Practice of Spectroscopy Measurements THEORY OF SPECTROSCOPY MEASUREMENT UV-visible spectroscopy is the measurement of the absorbance of light at a specific wavelength in a sample. This is used to identify the presence and concentration of molecular entities within the sample.

    The optical layout of the SP-200-VIS and SP-250-VIS spectrophotometers is shown below: Figure 3.2.1 Ð Diagram of light path The light from the pre-focused tungsten halogen lamp is focused onto the grating, with 1200 lines per millimeter, which separates the light into discreet wavelengths.
  • Page 16: Good Practice Guidelines

    GOOD PRACTICE GUIDELINES 1. For optimum performance all spectrophotometers should be sited in a clean, dry, dust free atmosphere. When in use ambient temperature and light levels should remain as constant as possible. 2. If required adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) should be monitored with regular calibration checks and a suitable Quality Control (QC) programme.
  • Page 17 h) Flow-through cuvettes must be selected with care and consideration for the sample type, sample volume, pumping system, rinse, sample and waste handling to be used. 5. Samples and standards should not be stored in open cuvettes or sample containers as evaporation will change the value and lead to staining of the walls which may be irreversible.
  • Page 18: Section 4 Ð Photometrics Measurements

    SECTION 4 Ð PHOTOMETRICS MEASUREMENTS The SP-200-VIS/SP-250-VIS can perform simple measurements of % transmittance or absorbance. The sample is measured at one wavelength and at one point in time. TRANSMISSION MEASUREMENT MODE To select % Transmittance use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys to move the cursor to the %T indicator on the menu bar (refer to figure 2.3.1).
  • Page 19: Section 5 Ð Concentration Measurements

    SECTION 5 Ð CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENTS The concentration measurement mode enables simple measurements of concentration to be performed. In this measurement mode it is possible to calibrate against a standard of a known concentration or use a known factor. The sample is measured at one wavelength at one point in time.

    A printout is initiated by pressing the PRINT key. If the sample number is unity, then the printout will include a header block. The sample number is incremented every time the PRINT key is pressed. The following commands can also be sent to the SP-200-VIS and SP-250-VIS via the serial interface (using Windows HyperTerminal, for example):...

  • Page 24: Section 8 - Maintenance And Service

    SECTION 8 – Maintenance and Service ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Ensure the external surfaces of the unit are clean and free from dust. The sample area should always be kept clean and any accidental spillage should be wiped away immediately. To give added protection when not in use, the unit should be disconnected from the mains supply and covered with the optional dust cover.
