You must first install the liquid sample holder.
1. Place the protruding reference plate in position in the reflectance port, and
position the cuvette at the transmission port.
2. Set the instrument as detailed in the transmission measurements
section.
Note
Parameters activated by a radio button that are not specifically mentioned in the
following procedure should be set to 'Off' (e.g., the Signal-to-noise mode radio
button). These parameters will not affect the procedure.
3. Fill the cuvette with solvent. If necessary, run a baseline as follows:
4. Click the Start button, then Programs, then Cary WinUV then click on Scan.
5. Click the Baseline button. Follow the on-screen prompts to perform a baseline
scan.
Hot Tip
When performing transmission measurements, block the sample beam in the
transmission position with a black masking.
6. Once the baseline correction is complete, the Ordinate status display in the top
left corner of the dialog box will show 'Zero baseline' in red text.
7. Fill the cuvette with the sample and place cuvette in the holder in the same
orientation that was used to collect the baseline.
8. Click the Start button to perform the scan. The Save As dialog box will appear,
allowing the method to be saved as either a data file or a batch file. If the file
is saved as a batch file, all of the method parameters will be stored with the
scan.
