6. The instrument tests samples from each standard
three times.
• Checkmarks indicate successful calibration. The
instrument prints DONE for successful tests.
• Failed tests clear checkmarks and put a red X in
the test field.
If the calibration fails, you need to restart
calibration. Failed calibrations are saved until a
successful calibration is achieved with the standard.
When calibration is successful, the instrument calculates
and saves a new calibration slope and intercept.
0and2000mOsm/kg H₂O calibration (optional)
After a successful 50and850mOsm calibration, you
are prompted for a 0mOsm calibration.
For optimal performance, do not open the 0mOsm
calibrator prior to being prompted by the instrument.
1. Press YES or NO.
• If you press NO, skip to step 5.
• If you press YES , the turntable moves to the next
open position.
2. Using a new, unopened vial, load three replicates of
0mOsm in the positions indicated by the
instrument prompt.
3. Press START.
4. The instrument tests samples from the standard
three times.
• A checkmark ( ) indicates successful calibration.
The instrument prints DONE for successful tests,
and calculates and saves a new calibration slope
and intercept.
• A red X ( ) indicates a failed test.
The instrument prompts you to retry the
calibration. Failed calibrations are saved until a
successful calibration is achieved with the
standard.
5. After a successful 0mOsm calibration or if you
pressed NO in step 1, you are prompted for a
2000mOsm calibration.
6. Press YES or NO.
• If you press NO, the calibration process ends.
• If you press YES, the turntable moves to the next
open position.
For optimal performance, do not open the
2000mOsm calibrator prior to being prompted
by the instrument.
7. Using a new, unopened vial, load three replicates of
2000mOsm in the positions indicated by the
instrument prompt.
8. Press START.
9. The instrument tests samples from the standard
three times.

The instrument prints DONE for successful tests,
and calculates and saves a new calibration slope
and intercept.
• A red X ( ) indicates a failed test.
The instrument prompts you to retry the
calibration. Failed calibrations are saved until a
