    Why does GE Ultrospec 2100 switch off after calibration?
    • K
      Kathryn BerryAug 23, 2025
      The instrument may be switching off after calibration because the ON/OFF button is being held for too long. This can cause the instrument to receive both ON and OFF signals. Try adjusting the timing of your finger press at switch on.

    What to do if GE Ultrospec 2100 shows Absorbance readings unstable?
    • B
      brandonwilliamsAug 30, 2025
      If you are experiencing unstable absorbance readings, ensure that Reference QA is switched on, background correction is enabled, and that a 2 µl sample is being used.

    Why does GE Measuring Instruments show a negative reading?
    • R
      rachael02Sep 1, 2025
      Negative readings can occur if the Reference and Test cuvettes are mixed up.

    What to do if GE Ultrospec 2100 instrument will not zero?
    • J
      Jesse ScottSep 4, 2025
      The instrument may not zero if the cuvette is placed in the wrong orientation or if the wrong cuvette material is used for the wavelength.

    What to do if GE Ultrospec 2100 Measuring Instruments shows REF is displayed when T is pressed?
    • D
      dominique91Sep 6, 2025
      If 'REF' is displayed when 'T' is pressed, it means the instrument was not zeroed before a sample measurement was attempted.

    What to do if GE Ultrospec 2100 Measuring Instruments gives Poor reproducibility on DNA concentration and purity measurements?
    • J
      Joseph WilliamsSep 8, 2025
      Poor reproducibility in DNA concentration and purity measurements can occur if the wrong cuvette is used (not a 15 mm beam height or wrong material not letting UV light pass through), if background correction mode is not switched on, or if the measured absorbance is too low (should be >0.1 A for accurate results).
