Two filters are required to perform the Performance Verification tests. Both are contained in
the SPECTRONIC Standards 2 Kit, available from your Thermo Scientific distributor.
• A lambda filter, labeled
- this filter has three peaks in transmittance space
• A 10%T or 1A neutral density (gray glass) filter calibrated for absorbance at 440, 590 and
635 nm
1. Enter the serial number of your filter set and the calibration information indicated into
the fields on the screen.
2. Select
and follow the instructions on the screen carefully.
The GENESYS 30 will perform tests for:
• Wavelength accuracy
• Photometric accuracy
• Photometric noise at 0A
and display a report of the measured data with pass/fail evaluations calculated according to the
sum of the instrument specification and the calibration uncertainty of the standards.
Data files can be saved to a USB memory device. Data files are named as Pv_<time and date>
for easy identification and include a time and date stamp.
