How Can I Be Sure That My Spectrophotometer Works
Properly?
The quality of your measurement data is dependent on the performance of
your spectrophotometer. For a full performance verification external
standards are required. Standard kits are available for operational
qualification and performance verification (OQ/PV). OQ/PV kits for the
Agilent Cary 8454 UV-Visible spectrophotometer are available as spare parts.
A quick check without the need of standards can be performed by the
Verification and Diagnostics mode’s self test. This test can be performed
always after starting the spectrophotometer.
Spectrophotometer Self test
1 Make sure that you are in the Verification and Diagnostics mode. The mode
