As part of factory maintenance procedures can an external check sample be measured and
continuously evaluated on the DA 7440 Instrument. Perten Check sample includes a plastic
Polystyrene (PS), Poly(1-phenylethylene) puck with a defined reflectance spectra signature. The
check sample can be continuously measured as a complement to the instrument internal testing

As a guideline - stability should be below 1% deviation. Contact your Perten instruments office
or local partner if the deviation exceeds 1%.
