GENESYS 30 User Guide
The Thermo Scientific™ GENESYS™ 30 visible spectrophotometer is designed to measure
transmittance and absorbance in the range 325 nm to 1100 nm. Typical samples are
contained in a square plastic or glass cuvette with a pathlength of 10 mm. Sample holders that
support measurement of solutions in test tubes or longer cuvettes, and limited options for
measuring transmitting solid samples, are also available.
The spectrophotometer incorporates control software capable of displaying absorbance or
transmittance data as single wavelength measurements or as a wavelength scan. It can also
perform simple mathematical operations on data obtained at one or multiple wavelengths and
present the results of these calculations. Additionally, the software supports quantitative
analyses using either a user-entered calibration factor or establishment of a calibration
equation using between one and six measured standard solutions.
Data from the spectrophotometer’s measurements are displayed on a high resolution color
screen (32 bit, 800 x 480 pixels) and may also be printed using an optional thermal printer
accessory or saved to a flash memory device through a USB port conveniently located on the
front of the instrument.
All aspects of the users’ interactions with the GENESYS 30 visible spectrophotometer have
been carefully considered and accommodated in the design of the instrument. Accessibility of
the sample compartment, layout and labeling of the keypad, and placement of the tools and
features in the software are all optimized to provide the best possible user experience for the
instrument user.
