Given that the absorption of a compound strictly depends on the
wavelength of the incident light beam, a narrow spectral bandwidth
should be selected as well as a proper central wavelength to optimize
measurements.
Optical system of Hanna C 200 multiparameter photometers is based
on special subminiature tungsten lamps and narrow-band interfer-
ence filters to guarantee both high performance and reliable results.
Four measuring channels are available which, working at four
different wavelengths, allow a wide range of tests.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT

to ensure best accuracy.
Do not let the test sample stand too long after reagent is added
or accuracy will be lost.
Whenever the cuvet is placed into
the measurement cell, it must be
completely free of fingerprints, oil
or dirt. Wipe it thoroughly with
HI 731318 or a lint-free cloth prior
to insertion.
It is important that the sample
does not contain any debris. This
would corrupt the readings.
