Sealed water standard in scratch proof housing
While sealed water standards are designed to provide long-term stability, periodic verification and recalibration may be necessary to ensure continued accuracy. Proper storage and handling are also essential to prevent damage to the device.
Maintenance and replacement:
- Handle with Care: Always handle the sealed water standard with clean gloves to prevent fingerprints, oils, or other contaminants from adhering to the surface.
-
Check for Scratches and Contaminants: Regularly inspect the standard for scratches, chips, or other damage to the housing.
Signs of replacement:
- Physical Damage: If the sealed water standard shows visible signs of damage, such as cracks, deep scratches, or chips, it should be replaced immediately. Physical damage can lead to leakage or contamination of the water inside.
- Degradation of Fluorescence Properties: If the standard no longer provides consistent and reliable calibration results, it may indicate that the water inside has degraded or that the sealed cuvette is compromised.
- Cloudiness or Internal Contamination: If you observe any cloudiness, discoloration, or particles inside the sealed water standard, it suggests contamination or evaporation, necessitating replacement.
