Standard Solution (N120, NP80, N60, N50)
The NanoPhotometer
®
is recalibration free therefore it is
not necessary to review the photometric accuracy on a
regular basis. If the SOPs of a laboratory require a
routine control of the photometric accuracy standard
solutions can be used.
Note:
Specifications of the standard solution are guaranteed for at least one year. Please
see expiration date. Once a vail is opened it can be used for 30 minutes.
Note
: Please read the Material Safety Data Sheet carefully prior to using this product.
IQ/OQ documentation (N120, NP80, N60, C40)
The NanoPhotometer
®
IQ/OQ package consists of a Standard Solution and/or a Didymium
Glass Filter and a corresponding Excel-based software tool depending on the type of
instrument. The Excel-based software produces an automated report displaying all relevant
data for an audit.
Note:
The IQ/OQ documentation is not available for the NanoPhotometer
®
N50.
Submicroliter Cell (C40 only)
The submicroliter cell provides the option of upgrading the
NanoPhotometer
®
C40 to a device that handles NanoVolume
samples as well as cuvette samples. The sample volume range
of the submicroliter cell ranges from a minimum of 0.3 µl to 5 µl
with the path length options including 0.04 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.2
mm, 1 mm and 2 mm which correspond to virtual dilution
factors of 1:250, 1:100, 1:50, 1:10, and 1:5 respectively.
DiluCell
™ (C40/NP80 only)
The DiluCell
™ is a disposable cuvette with shortened path
length for virtual dilution of cuvette-based samples. Due to the
reduced path length the DiluCell
™ provides an automatic
dilution without the need of a physical dilution of higher
concentration samples. There are two different sizes of
DiluCells available DC 10 and DC 20 which allow an
automatic 1/10 and 1/20 dilution of the sample respectively.
Bypassing manual sample dilutions reduces dilution errors
and cross-contamination making DiluCell
™ ideal for GLP.
Combined with small sample volume requirements and
bubble free filling, the DiluCell
™ allows for convenient
spectrophotometric analysis from 340 - 950 nm.
