PowerWave Operator’s Manual 4-9
Calibration Validation
It is considered good laboratory practice to periodically validate the calibration
of the PowerWave. Calibration validation should occur monthly by performing
either of the tests in this section. The tests are:
■ Calibration Plate Test
■ Linearity Test (wet test) alternate method
Calibration Plate Test
This test is used to confirm the alignment, repeatability, accuracy/ linearity
of the PowerWave. An alternative method used to determine accuracy,
repeatability and linearity is the Linearity or Wet Test described later in this
chapter.
The Calibration Test Plate (PN 7260522) measures a known optical standard.
Both accuracy/linearity, repeatability, and alignment are tested. Specific
calibration values must be entered for each wavelength to be tested.
REQUIREMENTS:
• Bio-Tek Calibration Plate (PN 7260522).
