Operational Qualification of Automatic Polarimeter AP-300

Preface

The Operational Qualification performance test of the Automatic Polarimeter AP-300 is d escribed

herewith.

The instructions below assume that the performance test of the AP-300 is condu cted by a regular

user of the unit who is familiar with the operation. For daily check and maintenance, please refer

to the Standard Operational Procedure document (SOP).

1. Test Environment and Preparation

Conduct the performance test in an environment which meets the conditions outlined below.

Keep the measurement sample and the AP-300 at an am bient tem perature of 18.0°C to 22.0°C

for at least 30 minutes to let them acclimate to the ambient temperature.

If the following environmental conditions are not met, an appropriate measurement result

may not be obtained.

Environment for performance test

2. Establishing a Discretionary Measurement Standard

A performance test requires a discretionary measurement standard.

Establish a set measurement standard for your samples, taking the accuracy of the AP-300

into accou nt. Please refer to the product literature and/ or the instruction manual for the

specifications, features, and measurement accu racy of the AP-300. These sp ecifications are

guaranteed at the time the AP-300 is shipped as a brand-new product. It is d ifficu lt to obtain

an accuracy level greater than the prod u ct sp ecifications under different environmental

conditions. It is recommended setting the discretionary measurement standard lower than the

stated specifications.

Example: Judgment standard measurement

Accuracy: Angle of rotation ±0.03°

3. Confirmation of Measurement Accuracy (Accuracy and Repeatability)

Check the accuracy (accuracy and repeatability) of the m easurement values by measuring a

sample of a known concentration.

The AP-300 is an optical instrument designed to measure the angle of rotation of a sample

solution by utilizing two polarizing plates.

Ambient temperature: 18.0°C to 22.0°C Relative humidity: less than 75%

Power supply: AC 100 to 240V, 50/ 60Hz

※

The Automatic Polarimeter AP-300 should be used indoors and placed on a flat,

level surface, such as a work desk or laboratory table.
