3.4. Performance Validation
Instrument performance validation can be conducted using the performance validation
functions. The ‘Performance Validate’ function is intended to validate the accuracy of the
instrument in terms of the Raman shift position and peak intensity within a spectral range
as compared to a polystyrene spectrum generated at the factory. A Calibration Cap with a
built in traceable Polystyrene Standard is provided for the validation. The frequency on
how often the validation test needs to be run should be determined by the user’s SOP
depending on the requirement of the applications and user quality assurance systems.
Place the Calibration Cap onto the laser emission aperture aligning the key on the adapter
with the pin on the emission port. The standard polystyrene material will be at the focal
point of the laser beam.
