Preprogrammed Methods
Thermo Scientific Orion AquaMate 8000 UV-Vis and AquaMate 7000 Vis spectrophotometers
include a USB memory stick that contains over 260 preprogrammed methods for use with
Thermo Scientific

, Merck and CHEMetrics reagent chemistries.
Preprogrammed methods provide values for the test parameters required to run specific
reagent chemistries on the instrument, including wavelength, vial path length, concentration
factors/curves and measurement unit.
All preprogrammed methods are stored on the USB memory stick, so operators can select and
load only the methods needed for their applications. Up to 90 methods can be stored on the
AquaMate spectrophotometer and stored methods can be added or removed as needed.
Operators can also modify preprogrammed methods or create their own custom methods, so
additional parameters and test methods can be added at any time.
AquaMate instruments allow a one point adjustment on any preprogrammed method using a
known standard to correct for variations in batch to batch reagent chemistries.
The following instructions are for using Orion AQUAfast reagent, Merck or CHEMetrics
chemistries with the AquaMate spectrophotometer. Preprogrammed methods use a specific vial
size (path length) in the formula and the vial size specified in these instructions must be used
for accurate analysis. The majority of AQUAfast reagent methods use a 24mm round vial, Cat.
No. AC2V24 or 16mm round vial, Cat. No. AC2V16. Other vial sizes are noted in the individual
reagent chemistry instructions.
