Measure the blanking current
1.
Connect the Opti-Trace fluorometer to the Power Supply and Data Collection
System as shown in Fig 2 below.
2.
Using a syringe, inject a sample of the de-ionized water through the Luer-Lock
valve. Set your data collection system to read “0’ for this sample.
Measure the Output Current for the Sample concentration
1.
Inject a sample of the test solution into the sensor, Set the data collection system
to output the value of the sample. For example, if the concentration of the
solution used was 100 ppb, the data collection system could be set to read “100”
for this sample.
2.
Flush the sensor through with de-ionized water.
