Sample Positioner Setting
The spectrophotometer lets you use many different cell holders and accessories to take
measurements. When you select your test parameters, you select the type of measurement
required and indicate the number of samples. You can choose from the following
measurement options:
Auto 6
Measure one blank and up to five samples without changing cuvettes in the cell changer. The
instrument automatically measures the blank and advances the cell changer to measure the
remaining samples.
Auto 3
Measure one blank and two samples without changing cuvettes in the cell changer. The
instrument automatically measures the blank and advances the cell changer to measure the
samples in positions 2 and 4.
Single Cell Holder
Place the blank in the cell holder, measure it, place a sample in the cell holder, and then
measure your sample. This process is completely manual. The cell position buttons do not
function when you select Single Cell Holder.
Note You can cause the 6-Cell Changer to function as a single cell holder and measure
only one cell by selecting this option. However, we recommend that the single cell holder
be used for accessories requiring a high degree of positioning repeatability, such as the
nanoCell accessory, small aperture microcells, the coupling module of fiber optics probes,
and flowcells used with a sipper system.
