Check of Raman Band of Water

This test is a verification of the wavelength calibration, described in section

“Wavelength Verification and Calibration"

on page 101, using the Raman band

of water.

Using the Agilent ChemStation

Copy the method WLEMTEST.M and WLEXTEST.M to \HPCHEM\1\
METHODS.

Load the method WLEXTEST.M. The FLD will change into the
multi-emission mode and scan in the range of the expected maximum of
397 nm

20 nm.

Turn the pump on and flush with water for a few minutes to assure a clean
flow cell. Flow rate should be 0.5 to 1 ml/min and the baseline stable.

Define in

Sample Information

the file name and description.

Start a run. After the 1 minute run has completed, enter the Data Analysis
and evaluate the spectrum. The maximum should be found at
397 nm

3 nm, see

Figure 34

on page 105.

The methods WLEMTEST.M and WLEXTEST.M are part of the A.06.xx ChemStation
software CD (\1100FLD\VERIFYWL\).
