DESCRIPTION AND INSTALLATION 1.1 INTENDED USE This device is intended for use in qualitative or quantita- ve bioresearch or industrial procedures which require spectrophotometric measurements, It may also be used {as a general-purpose spectrophotometer for analytical ‘and investigative applications, 1.2. GENERAL INFORMATION ‘The DUS-6 Visible and DU®-6 UV-Visible Spectropho- tometers are microprocessor controlled, computing spectrophotometers which operate in the ultraviolet and visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Both Instruments feature a CRT video display which provides operational prompts, and a keyboard for operator input, ‘The DU-6 Visible Spectrophotometer operates from 325 10900 nm, using a Tungsten source. The DU-6 UV-Visible Spectrophotometer incorporates an additional deuto- rlum source which extends the analytical wavelength SECTION ONE range to 180 nm. With the addition of various acces- sories, the instrument may be upgraded and customized to fit specific user needs. Operational and maintenance instructions which apply to both DU-6 Spectrophotometers are contained in this manual. Instructions which pertain to the use of acces- sories will be provided separately and are to be inserted into this binder for later reference. ‘As with any instrument, experience in spectropho- tomotric measurements, manipulation of spectral data, and a familiarization with the operational instructions will ultimately enhance the quality of the results obtained, 1.3 KEYBOARD DESCRIPTION ‘The DU-6 Spectrophotometer keyboard Is used for all operator input. Functions of all keys are given in Figure 1-1 and in the paragraphs following U6 Spectrophotomater Keyboard fanace waa » OPERATING MODE KEYS: The Operating Mode Keys are used to choose the mode for the analysis program.

In each of these operating modes, data may be collected in either absorbance units or as % transmission. Additional calculation features which pertain only to specific oper- ational modes are discussed below. 1.4.1 SINGLE WAVELENGTH MODE In addition to absorbance and %T data collection, a concentration calculation is available in the Single Wavelength mode. (Refer also to Paragraph 2.2.1.) The operator may elect to multiply absorbance readings by a specified value using either the FACTOR or STANDARD calculation. These calculations are performed by the Instrument as follows: FACTOR Calculation: Result = (Absorbance of Sample) x (Factor) STANDARD Calculation: (Absorbance of Sample) Result = ‘Apsorbance of Standard) X (Concentration of Standard) where (Factor) and (Standard Concentration) values are centered by the user. 1.4.2 SCAN MODE AND DERIVATIVE FUNCTION In the Scan mode, there ara five scanning speeds avail- ‘able: 300, 150, 60, 30, and 15 nm per minute. When using the Scan mode (Paragraph 2.2.3) the user has the addi tional option of data collection using the first or second Gerivative of absorbance, as a function of wavelength. ‘The derivative function i useful in Wavelength scan- ning as it allows the userto extract important information rapidly from the raw data. The first derivative (1 DER) may be used to locate precisely the peaks and valleys in a spectrum. Similarly, the second derivative (2 DER) function is offen used in wavelength scanning to help visualize fine spectral structures which are super- imposed onto a broad absorption band, While this caleu- lation does not affect the inherent resolution of the data, when used judiciously, it will accentuate spectral details, allowing the user to locate fine structures. To get the mast from derivative data manipulations, however, the user should clearly understand the mathe- matics involved. A derivative (whether first or second) is calculated from the shape or “slope” of the spectral absorbance data over a short wavelength interval. This interval is called “delta lambda” (a4). Since a single data point cannot determine a line, the data immediately before and after @ given data point (i.e., within the an segment} must be examined. Since the aa is relatively short, the data points within this segment may be 3 approximated to be a straight line, for which a slope value may be calculated. ‘Although the aA Segment itself is quite short in relation to the length of the entire scan, its width is very impor- tant, Furthermore, different chemical compounds may differ substantially in the widths of their important spec- tral features. Thus the exact value for \ may be chosen by the user to yield tho best results for the sample under sludy. The a parameter may be selected from the fol lowing values: 0.2 nm, 0.4 nm, 0.8 nm, 2.0 nm, 4.0 nm, 8,0.nm, or 16.0 nm. (Same values are noi compatible with some scanning speeds. Refer to Table 1.) ‘Always Koop in mind that the derivative scan will be shortened by ¥ (ai) at each extreme of the scanning range. This is because there is insufficient data within the a2 interval to calculate a derivative for these extreme: data points. ‘Similarly, a sufficient range and number of data points {scanning range) must be used in the initial scan to obtain the best possible results from the derivative cal- culation. For this reason, the minimum scanning range is 10 nm for all values of AA except 16 nm, for which the minimum is 17 nm. [oble 1, Acceptable values Soo0d ‘minimum scanning range of 10 am le aasurod for each, ‘except 160 (mummum range of 17 nm) Iran unaccenteble ‘Salve ls entered an evar message willbe csplayed AN tom) 02 04 08 20 1.4.3 TIME DRIVE MODE ‘The option of first or second derivative data collection Is. also available in the Time Drive made. Time Drive data may be collected at any of the follow- ing data rates: 1, 10, 60, 120, or 900 readings per minute. Data raie, as weil as total time of the analysis is selected during the creation of a Time Drive program. The option of first or second derivative data collection Is also available in the Time Drive mode. Because the initial scan produces absorbance data as a function of time, the first derivative Is the slope of the resultant line of rate of change of absorbance with time, This can be vory useful in tho analysis of reaction kinetics. Unlike the derivative-based calculation functions used inthe Wavelength Scanning mode, Time Drive derivatives are calculated using a set value for the interval. (Refer carefully to Paragraph 1.4.2, particularly to the informa- tion regarding derivative calculations.) However, due to the nature of the derivative calculation, a sufficient num- parameters which must be used are given in Table 2 for each of the possible data collection rates. ‘Table 2, Mima Analysis Tes for Is monerime fasten an tnd the deren calulaon wins be petorma Daas el a ve an o |] «| © | wo | 20 Minimum 5min | amin | sane | Sane | sone 1.4.4 QUANT I STORAGE AND CALCULATION OPTIONS When the DU-6 Spectrophotometer is equipped with the Quant | Storage and Calculation Accessory (Beckman Part §96148) or any accessory which includes Quant 1 Capabilities, additional calculation and display features are available. Each scan is automatically stored in the instrument memory until the next scan is run. In the Scan mode, data initially collected as Absorb- ‘ance vs Wavelength or Time may be converted to first or second derivative using the Replot feature, also described in Paragraph 2.4. An automatic Peak Pick computation is performed for each scan to determine the wavelength at which up to ten of the most significant peaks appear. The wavelenath and reading for each of the peaks are displayed on the hard copy printout of each soan and in the Replot mode. Feeplot mode is also used to facilitate scale expansion. ‘The wavelength ang absorbance ranges may be changed to accommodate the data and optimize the display as described in Paragraph 2.4.2. 1.5 INSTALLATION INFORMATION Select a location for your instrument which has a fairly constant temperature, and is away from heating and cooling vents or windows. Also, the location should be reasonably free of dust, excessive moisture, and cor- rosive chemicals, Keep in mind that instrument pertorm- ance may be affected by strong electromagnetic fields that may exist in the proximity of large electric motors, diathermy machines, or microwave sources. OPERATION ‘The DUB-6 Spectrophotometer features a CAT display which indicates analysis parameters, and operational prompts before and during the analysis, and displays the collected data upon completion of a test. The DU-6 ‘Spectrophotometer keyboard is used to select or edit analysis parameters in the creation of an analysis pro- gram. After selection of an analysis mode, a list of parameters is displayed on the CRT screen. The param- ‘ter to be modified is indicated by an inverse video field, fr cursor. Entries are made with either the NUMERIC. keys, or the [SEL] key on the keyboard. (The [SEL] key is used to call up the available options for bracketed parameters.) After each keystroke, the cursor will indi- tale a new option until all the options have been shown, After a complete cycle of options has been displayed, the cycle repeats. Each entry must be followed by depression of the ENTER key. After a parameter is modi- fied or edited, the cursor automatically moves to the next parameter. The cursor may be repositioned manually using the four ARROW keys. Each depression of an ARROW Koy. moves the cursor one available position in the direction of the ARROW. Use of the cursor, with the [SEL], NUMERIC, ARROW, and ENTER keysis the same in each of the analysis, data presentation, and memory modes. ‘The following paragraphs describe the use of each analysis mode as well as the subsequent presentation of the data, Data presentation functions which are available in the Wavelength (x) Scan, and Time Drive modes with the addition of the accessory Printer/ Plotter and Quant | Accessory are discussed in Paragraph 2.4, Use of tho optional instrument memory (Quant | Accessory) for storage and recall of specific programs is discussed in Paragraph 26, and use of the optional Scan Search feature Is described in Paragraph 25. NOTE Some of the accessories available for the DU-6 Spectrophotometer include the Quant | Accessory features. For instance, Quant il and Il Analysis Accessories and some Gel Scan and Kinetics Analysis Accessories allow access to all of the Quant | storage and calculation functions. If you havo one of these acces- sorles instead of the Quant I accessory, you should read carefully the sections in this manual which refer to use of the Quant I ‘Accessory features. 2.1 INITIAL START-UP PROCEDURE After connection of the power cord to an appropriate ‘source, the instrument will attain Idle mode. Once power is applied, it should remain on (in Idle) except for ‘extended periods of inactivity, or when the instrument is, serviced. This will provide accurate and consistent performance, and will avoid unnecessary wear on the system. Always allow for thirty minutes of warmup time after the instrument has been off or in Idle mode for an ‘extended period. SECTION TWO ‘The DU-6 Spectropnotometer performs a series of diagnostic selt-checks when system power is turned on. (Diagnostic checks are described in Section Three of this manual.)

In any mode, the DU-6 Spectrophotometer may be reset 100.0 or 100.%T by depressing the AUTO ZERO key. The instrument is then ready to resume collection of sample data. ‘The Auto Zero feature may also be used to reset to 0.0 A (or 100 %7) after a chango of blank or reference solution. This may be done only if the new and old blank solutions have similar spectral characteristics. Using the ‘Auto Zero feature to compensate for large differences in blank solutions may affect instrument accuracy. ‘Auto Zero is much faster than recalibration and there- fore can greatly reduce analysis time. However, when greatest accuracy is required, a complete recalibration, Using the START key, should be performed, 2.4 DATA PRESENTATION WITH OPTIONAL PRINTER/PLOTTER When the Printer/Plotter accessory (Beckman Part 96148 or 596144) is installed and used in conjunction with the DU-6 Spectrophotometer, additional data pres- entation options become available. These are discussed in the following paragraphs. In general, any information which is displayed on the DU-6 Spectrophotometer CRT may be transferred to and recorded by the Printer/Plotter. To do so, depress the COPY key on the keyboard. 2.4.1 AUTOMATIC SCAN PLOTTING When the Printer/Plotter is powered-up and on tine with the DU-6 Spectrophotometer, all data taken in Scan or Time Drive operational mode will be automatically plotted.

AUTOMATIC INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONS During normal operation, the DU®-6 Spectrophatometer Performs @ number of automatic self-calibration rou- tines. This section is provided to give the user a belter understanding of the instrument. Experience has shown that an operator who understands how an instrument works is able to get consistently better results and is. better propared to recognize maladjustments or misuse cf the instrument, 3.1. START-UP CHECKS Each time the DU®-6 Spectrophotometer is turned on, it automatically performs a series of checks to verity proper operation. The items monitored include: RAM (Random Access Memory) ROM (Read Only Memory) . Internal timer . Video display system . Peripheral processor . Filter position Wavelength position Signal-processing electronics . Optics Source Mirror 11. Sources If any malfunctions are found, an error message will be displayed on the CRT screen. Refer to Section Four tor malfunction explanations, 93.2 CALIBRATION ROUTINE Atter the desired parameters aro established, the START key is depressed to calibrate the instrument. The instru- ‘ment automatically performs the following steps: 1. Dark current is measured and corrected. This, compensation assures accurate readings at high absorbance, 2. The monochromator is moved to the proper wave- length. 3. The proper detector attenuation value is selected, ‘This minimizes the noise level and maximizes pho- tometric accuracy, 4, Tho log converter (absorbance-based modes, only) is calibrated to provide linearity throughout the operating range. ‘These steps assure proper instrument performance everytime the instrument is used; day-to-day and year~ to-year. SECTION THREE 3.8 BACKGROUND CORRECTION (Scan Mode Only) [At the completion of the calibration, Insert Background- Push Fun” appears in the upper right hand corner of the CRT screen, At this time, the blank or reference solution should bo placed in the sample compartment.

The Model 24 is ‘capable of measuring light at wavelengths from 340 10 700 ‘am (190 fo 700 nm with optional deuterium source). The ‘Model 25 js capable of measuring light at wavelengths from 190 to 700 nm.

Light from either source is di rected to the single-rrating monochromator, which has 1200 lines per millimeter and is blazed at 250 nanometers. Con- structive imerference of a certain wavelength, other than light of the frst order, is removed via a filter wheel whi blocks second and higher-order light from reaching the sam= ple. The monochromatic light is then directed to the saraplc and reference via a vibrating mirror bridge which displaces horizontally at a certain frequeney. Therefore, this bridge allows light to pass into the sample and reference eell holders with a frequency equal to the displacement frequency of the bridge, Light transmission through the cells is detected by a side- ‘on multiplier phototube.

OPERATIONAL PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS ‘The following operational precautions and limitations are cited so that the operator may avoid those actions which can damage either device, disrupt an automated series of dete rminations, or adversely affect the validity of a quantitative ‘or qualitative determination 1, READ BECKMAN INSTRUCTIONS 015.082245-4, BEFORE OPERATING DEVICE. Tt is also recommended that Beckman Instructions 015.082058, “An Introduction to Ultraviclet Spestropho- tometzy," by Robert J. Manning, be read. 2. Do not subject either spectrophotometer or recorder to mechanical shock, 3. Use only Beckman-recommended spectrophotometer cells, or equivalent, and use procedures found om Pages 10 and LI of Beckman Bulletin 7685, and Paragraph 4.1 ‘ef Beckman Instructions 015-082245-A, for selection, ‘care, and cleaning of cals. ‘4. When selecting a wavelength, always approach the wave: length from the high side of the scale. This will prevent backlash in the Wavelength Adjust Kaob and, thereby, inaccurate wavelength readings. 5. There is no substitute for careful adherence to the pro- cedures indicated by the test kit manufacturer. ‘The operator should check all outputs from the Models, 24/25 Spectrophotometers with expected results HAZARDS ‘The following hazards are identified for maximum safety of the operator. 1, Do not remove any covers from the Models 24/25 Spe ‘trophotometers, of recorder, other than the lamp housing cover as described in Paragraphs 4.3 and 44 of Bockman Instructions 015-082245-A. These paragraphs describe the replacement of the tungsten and deuterium sources. ‘The equipment inside the other covered areas of the de vices is not operator serviceable and presents electrical shock hazard. Refer servicing to a qualified Beckman Field Service Representative. 2, Paragraphs 2.2.1, 2.2.2, and 2.2.3 are not intended for operator use. When a change from one voltage to another is required as stated in these paragraphs, it ‘must be performed by 2 qualified Beckman Field Service Representative 3. When replacing and aligning the deuterium lamp, the ‘operator is reminded that ultraviolet radiation from this lamp is harmful to the eves. Protective (not necessarily safety) glasses must be worn during the alignment procedure. SERVICE No operator service other than the replacement of the tung sten and deuterium sources (Paragraphs 4.3 and 4.4 of Beck- ‘man Instructions 015-082245-A), and front panel indicator lamps, is recommended.
