The UV-Vis Performance Qualification (UV-Vis PQ) Kit is designed to allow you to fully qualify and document your

UV-Vis Spectrophotometer using NIST-Traceable standard reference materials.

The UV-Vis PQ System is comprised of 3 major components:

• A series of Calibration Solutions, NIST-Traceable with Certificate of Analysis

• A Validated Excel tm based software template (protected) to compile, calculate and graph the test results

• A series of Test Protocols, which can be freely incorporated into your internal SOP’s

The test solutions include the following:

• Absorbance Accuracy/Linearity Solutions at 7 concentrations covering the official NIST range. These solutions

are identical in composition to those described in the NIST Standard Reference Material (SRM) 935a.

• A Wavelength Calibration Solution, 4% Holmium Oxide, identical in composition to NIST SRM 2034.

• A Stray Light Solution, 1% Potassium Iodide, identical in composition to that described in NIST SRM 2032.

All solutions are pre-made to exacting analytical standards, and are ready to use. Total time for a full Spectrophotometer

Qualification is typically less than 30 minutes. The enclosed software prints all test results, ready for review and sign off.

The UV-Vis PQ System tests your Spectrophotometer for the following performance characteristics:

free to select any or all of these wavelengths for Absorbance Accuracy Qualification. The provided software

automatically compensates for solution temperatures, correcting for deviations of 0.1% or better. The Absorbance

Accuracy results are automatically compared to the Official NIST Tables for SRM 935a. The results are

calculated in terms of % Absorbance Accuracy against these Official Standards.

Range of the Spectrophotometer. Full Regression statistics are calculated and presented.

presented in terms of deviation of the observed maxima from the official values at the instrument bandwidth used.

In addition, the Found vs. Official Wavelengths are plotted, so that trends in monochrometer error become

immediately apparent.

procedure are imbedded within the software, and are instantly presented as % Stray Light.

Wavelength Accuracy of other instruments, such as Capillary Electrophoresis or HPLC Detectors.

The UV-Vis PQ Kit is economical. Retail Price for the complete qualification kit with Validated Software is only $575.

There are no limits or restrictions on the number of Instruments that can be qualified with a single kit. Wavelength

Calibration solution is available separately, with the Validated Software, for $90.

Customer support is always available at no charge.
