11.3.2 Gradient Filter Carriages
Note
The instrument specifications can only be guaranteed if genuine Tecan
parts are used.
Using the option tuneable wavelength selection, the instrument is fitted with a
special gradient filter, which allows the selection of any wavelength of light
between 400 and 700 nm. For measurements in the ranges of 340 - 399 nm and
700 - 750 nm the appropriate
Standard
filter carriage, containing the required
wavelength filters, must be inserted into the instrument.
The filter carriage can be replaced for another carriage, which contains other
filters; the instrument can store the data for up to eight filter carriages.
To change the filter carriage, please follow the procedure outlined in the
appropriate software Instructions for Use.
Note
The
sunrise
specifications are different if a standard filter/6 filter or a
gradient filter is used.
If a method is defined using standard filters, specifications for standard filters are
valid. If the same method is performed later using gradient filters, specifications
for gradient filters have to be applied. These specifications are not identical to
those of standard filter. Validation of the system has to be performed with those
filters, which finally are actually used during measurement.
