T300-RT-UV-VIS Operating Instructions

(Continued from previous page)

c. Adjust the probe position in the sleeve until the signal intensity is minimized, then lock the probe

in place with the setscrews.

The specrum you see at this point should be similar in intensity to the dark spectrum.

d. Reattach the probe tip and verify that signal intensity has not appreciably increased.

Notes: The inner barrel is set at the time of manufacture for a 10 mm tip in aqueous media. If your

application requires measuring gases, you will have to adjust the inner barrel.

6. Immerse the probe in distilled water (or the solvent of your choice) and take a reference spectrum.

7. Remove the probe from the reference, block the light path going to the spectrometer, and take a dark

spectrum.

8. Ensure that the light path is clear, then place the probe in the sample solution and take a sample

spectrum.
