TD-550/560 Oil in Water Analyzer
Operation Manual

The TD-550/560 must be operating in the linear range to display accurate results. To determine
whether your calibration standard is in the linear range, rst, select the NUV or DUV channel (TD-560)
and proper cuvette size and calibrate the analyzer with a standard solution of known concentration.
(See Section 3 General Considerations for Analysis for conguration guidelines.) Then prepare a new
standard that is half the concentration of the standard solution by mixing equal volumes of the original
calibration standard and pure blank. Place the diluted standard in a clean cuvette, place the cuvette
in the sample well and tap Read on the Home screen (see Section 2.1 Touch Screen Interface). If the
displayed result is greater than half the original standard concentration, allowing for some error due to
dilution, the analyzer’s calibration is beyond the linear range. The linear range is dependent upon the
sample cuvette size and the optical channel of the analyzer; thus using a smaller cuvette size and/or
changing the optical channel (TD-560) can extend the linear range.
