User Maintenance: cell blank measurement - results data

Cell blank measurement results are summarized as follows:

Printed data

The printed data is the OD (optical density) value X 1000. There are two values for each cell and a mean value.

Abnormal cuvettes

A list containing abnormal cuvettes is printed as part of the cell blank. The list contains marks indicating abnormality. Cuvettes appearing on the list are not used for analysis.

Cuvettes exceeding the cell standard value (set in the System Parameters System window) are marked "H" or "L."

Cuvettes exceeding the cell breakup limit value (set in the System Parameters Settings window) are marked "N."

Cuvettes exceeding the lamp energy voltage limits are skipped (marked U or D), and therefore not used for analysis.

Abnormal cuvettes remain registered as abnormal until a future measurement determines that they can be used.

Reference value

The reference value (the average value of the measurements of all cuvettes) remains the same until the next measurement.
