Running the cell correction program
Note: The Cell Correction program is not active
in the Main (Basic Absorbance/%T/Basic
Concentration) screen.
Note: The Cell Correction feature is active only
when the 6-Position Sample Holder is set
to either Auto 6 or Auto 3. The feature is
not active when the cell holder is set to 1-
Cell Platform or Manual 6, nor when the
Single Cell Holder is installed.
Every test setup screen provides access to the cell
correction program. Before running the cell
correction program:
• Clean the inside and outside of all the cells
to be matched.
• Fill the cells with distilled water (or other
blank solution), and place them in the
sample compartment (see “Selecting and
positioning glassware” in the preceding
section). Be sure to place the blank cuvette
in Cell “B” of the sample compartment.
TIP: If one cell has lower absorbance
than the others, make it the blank.
To run the Cell Correction program:
1. Press the TEST key on the keypad. When the
Test Types screen appears, highlight the test
you want to run and press ENTER.
2. Highlight Cell Correction and press ENTER.
The Cell Correction function is now activated, as
indicated by the word On across from Cell
Correction on the test setup screen.
