Wavelength Calibration
Problem
The position of an absorption (transmission or reflectance) peak
appears to shift over a prolonged period of time.
Solution
Restart the Cary 60. The calibration procedure occurs automatically
on start up. Agilent recommends that as part of your standard
operating procedure you restart the Cary 60 monthly. Perform the
Instrument Performance Test suite in ‘Validate’ to ensure the
instrument results meet specification.
