The DU 800 UV/Visible Spectrophotometer is designed to sit on a laboratory bench or table, which is level, flat and capable of supporting its weight and the weight of all accessories.
The instrument is designed to operate in a clean laboratory environment, free from dust, fumes, excessive moisture, and corrosive chemicals. It should not be exposed to drafts from heating or cooling vents, heating elements, open windows or doors. Lab areas that receive direct sunlight should also be avoided.
An ambient temperature of 15-40°C (59-104°F) should be maintained. Relative humidity should be 85% or less. Instrument performance can be affected by strong electromagnetic fields that can exist in the proximity of large electric motors, centrifuges, diathermy machines, and microwave sources.
