5.1.
Checking the calibration.
If the user have any doubts in measuring precision, he may perform a basic control
check as follows:
5.1.1. No microplate method.
Remove microplate and close the lid. Perform measurement according to p. 4.4. Re-
sults should be between -0.003 and 0.005.
5.1.2. Clean microplate method.
Place a clean and empty microplate in the unit, and close the lid. Perform measure-
ment according to p. 4.4. Results should be between 0.030 and 0.060.

For further information, please consult with the software operation
manual.
5.2.
Using the verification microplate
.
Precision of the unit is verified by the certified verification plate. Verification certificate
is enclosed in the standard set and is valid one year from verification date.
All verification procedures must be performed only by qualified and specially trained
personnel.
Note.
Neutral filter absorbance of MULTISKAN
™ verification plates varies
from plate to plate, so we include an option to set the details of your
own verification plate. To edit the details, please consult with the soft-
ware operation manual, paragraph
Editing a verification plate
.
5.2.1. Lift the lid and place the verification plate on the sliding platform, then close the lid.
5.2.2. To run the certification test, you need to enter the developer mode. To do so, in soft-
ware, open a new experiment, focus on
the table “Cell, Name, Sample Name, Type”
(fig. 4) by left clicking on the table area, and press
Ctrl + N
