'''2. Scope'''
 
 
 
**  This instrument is used to meaure how much light is absorbed by a liquid sample. In full working condition this instrument supports a range of visible and UV wavelength of light.
 
 
 
'''3. Responsibilities'''
 
 
 
**  It is the responsibility of lab users to use this equipment in the manner described in this SOP.
 
**  It is the responsibility of lab users to report any incidents or technical problems with the equipment
 
**  It is the responsibility of the lab management to provide training, technical support and to ensure compliance with the operating procedures.
 
 
 
'''4. Materials'''
 
 
 
** Quartz or plastic cuvettes with a optical path of 12mm
 
** The equipment has replaceable UV and visible light bulbs
 
 
 
'''5. Related documents'''
 
 
 
**  https://wiki.london.hackspace.org.uk/view/Spectrophotometer
 
**  Software manual http://www.vtpup.cz/common/manual/PrF_biofyz_ThermoSpectronic_UV500_manual_EN.pdf
 
**  User Guide https://extranet.fisher.co.uk/webfiles/fr/Pjointes/Mdemploi/UNI050_EN%202203_%20HELIOS%20SERIES_%20USER.pdf
 
 
 
'''6. Definitions'''
 
 
 
**  Cuvette: A small, transparent quartz vessel. This is what a sample is put into for testing in the UV - Visible Spectrophotometer.
 
 
 
'''7. Procedures'''
 
 
 
** The spectrophotometer should be started with good time before its required as the initialization procedure takes ~15 mins 
 
** The user should ensure that the sample cuvette is clean before it is inserted into the device
 
 
 
** For OD600 selected the wavelength for 600nm.
 
 
 
** run a reference sample of media only sample
 
 
 
** run the sample cuvette
 
 
 
 
 
** ensure the machine is switched off after use
