SECTION 1 - Introduction INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION The SP-200-VIS and SP-250-VIS spectrophotometers are suited to a wide range of applications in education, quality control, environmental clinical analysis. Both models visible spectrophotometers covering a wavelength range from 320nm to 1000nm, with measurement modes for absorbance, % transmittance and concentration. These...
2. Required power cable either UK mains lead moulded plug (HH179(S)), EU mains lead moulded plug (HH180(S)), or US mains lead moulded plug (FCABLEUS) 3. Pack of 100 disposable plastic visible wavelength cuvettes (060 084), model SP-200-VIS only 4. Cole-Parmer 63-zero PC software (635 100) and interface cable (013 210) model SP-200-VIS only 5.
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.

5. RS232 serial port Connection to a PC SAMPLING Model SP-200-VIS is supplied with a 10mm cuvette holder. Other accessories can be fitted (refer to section 7). Model SP-250-VIS is supplied with a dual 10mm cuvette holder with a 12.7mm test tube holder.
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.
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.

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.
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).
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):...

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.
