NSG Precision Cells, a manufacturer of quartz-based flowcells, flow channel cuvettes, microchips and other optical solutions, has introduced the state-of-the-art Holmium Oxide Calibration Standard.
NIST Compliant Holmium Oxide Glass Wavelength Accuracy Calibration Standard
The WAV-1 Wavelength Calibration Standard was developed to overcome the challenges in accuracy of wavelength calibration, since it could lead to inaccurate analysis and affect the bottom line of the company. Introducing new procedures is also a challenge which requires a spectrophotometer solution that consistently provides highly accurate results.
For highly accurate analysis and to introduce effective techniques without increasing expenditure, the wavelength calibration accuracy needs to be repeatedly checked for the instrument. The Holmium Oxide Calibration Standard developed by NSG has been developed to verify the calibration for spectrophotometers.
The NIST-Compliant holmium oxide filter tests the wavelength calibration of the spectrophotometer over an extended range and can be used for troubleshooting and modifying the instrument’s sensitivity as required. It is an ideal alternative to the expensive and time-consuming procedure followed for calibrating wavelength accuracy.
The advantage of the WAV-1 NIST Compliant Holmium Oxide Glass Wavelength Accuracy Calibration Standard is that the product does not ever have to be re-calibrated or replaced during its lifetime. Furthermore, since it can be used to check the wavelength calibration accuracy of spectrophotometers used in the visible range, users can eliminate paying the cost associated with UV/VIS calibration standards. The peak values provided by NSG Precision Cells for wavelength accuracy include 637.5, 536.4, 459.9, 453.4, 418.5, 385.8 and 360.8 nm.
