IFU for Infinite 200 PRO No. 30052730 Rev. No. 1.6

Note
The cuvette port is an option of the Infinite M200 PRO only. This option
is not available for the Infinite F200 PRO. With the Infinite F200 PRO,
cuvettes may be measured using a Tecan Cuvette Adapter placed on
the plate transport.
Absorbance Optics Cuvette
A fiber bundle guides the light from the excitation monochromator system to the
absorbance cuvette optics.
This optics consists of a pair of lenses focusing the light beam into the cuvette.
At the focal point, the spot diameter of the absorbance light beam is 1.9 mm.
Absorbance Detection Cuvette
A silicon photodiode is used for the measurement of the transmitted light. It is
sensitive to a wide range of wavelengths. The photodiode is well suited for the
light levels being encountered with absorbance measurements below 4 OD.
Measurement values above 4 OD are marked as ‘OVER’ in the result sheet.

The cuvette port is compatible with the following cuvettes:
