7.3 Calibrating the Measurement Range
The calibration consists of two measurements:
•
Blank measurement of the empty sample chamber.
•
Quartz standard measurement.
For the quartz standard measurement the optical rotation of the quartz standard at 20
°C and the actual temperature of the quartz are entered. Using this data the polarimeter
automatically determines the nominal value for the optical rotation at the prevailing
actual temperature.
Calibration should be performed in regular intervals. Calibration should be performed
immediately, if result accuracy fails to lie in the desired range.
