Additional Specifications |
1 When testing instrument performance, the specification used for pass/fail determination is the sum of the instrument specification listed here and the uncertainty in the calibration data for the filter, listed on the calibration certificate.
For UV-Visible spectrophotometers in regulated laboratories, performance verification at installation and at set intervals thereafter is needed. National pharmacopeias with international reach define specific performance levels for various criteria in the pharmaceutical industry.
Note that Evolution One/One Plus models meet current USP and EP compliance and the Evolution Pro model meets current USP, EP, and JP compliance.
