Calibration
The ITC AVOXimeter 1000E is factory-calibrated and employs highly stable state-of-the-art light
sources. Factory tests indicate that, when used in accordance with this Operator’s Manual and
other instructions, the ITC AVOXimeter 1000E is capable of maintaining its calibration for at least
two years.
Should recalibration be required contact an ITC technical support representative for assistance
(see page 39).
Proper calibration also requires entry of the correct cuvette pathlength by the user (see page 39)
and use of a customary value for Hüfner’s number (see page 25).
CAUTION: If quality control results are not acceptable, erroneous results are
encountered, or error messages are displayed, the most likely cause is contamination
of the optical detector by blood or debris, which cannot be resolved by re-calibration.
Consult the Troubleshooting section for additional information.
