also offers heat-sensitive roll paper for long-term storage with limited fading. Contact
ATAGO for details.
6. Measurement
1)
Make sure that the sample chamber is empty. Close the sample chamber cover.
2)
Press the ZERO key. Zero-setting is initiated.
3)
ZERO SET END is displayed.
When a printer is connected, “ZERO SET END” will be printed.
4)
Measure the standard quartz control plate and record the measured value on the
measurement data recording chart. (If a quartz control plate is not available measure a
standard sucrose solution of 100 °Z and record the measured value on the measurement
data recording chart.)
5)
Repeat step 4) a total of four times. Record the measured values in the measurement
data recording chart.
7. Confirmation of Recorded Data
Check the measurement data of the Automatic Polarimeter AP-300.
1)
Compare the measurement values recorded in the measurement data recording chart
with those printed by the printer. Check if they are consistent.
2)
The AP-300 stores the measurement value of the last 30 measurements in the memory. If
the number of measurements exceeds 30, the newest measurement values will replace
the oldest measurement values.
3)
The measurement values stored in the memory can be recalled on the screen to compare
with those in the measurement data recording chart.
4)
The measurement values stored in the memory can also be exported and printed.
The measurement values on record and those in the memory can be checked for consistency
by the method described above.
8. Operation Qualification Results Report
1)
Fill out the Operation Qualification test results report with the measurement data
obtained.
2)
Calculate the average value and errors, and insert them in the report.
3)
Assess the results, based on the judgment discretionary measurement standard.
4)
Finally, the operator and an approved supervisor will sign the Operation
Qualification test results report.
Function Examination of Automatic Polarimeter AP-300
Preface
The Automatic Polarimeter AP-300 has various functions besides measuring angle of rotation.
When zero-setting is attempted with a sample outside the range by –5 to +5 °, an error message is
