Step 3: Calibrate the spectrometer
Step 3.1: Liquid Analysis Stamp Kit
To ensure optimum results you need to calibrate your spectrometer. Tap the “Calibrate” button in the spectrometer settings to start the process in the Spectroscopy App.
Perform the calibration of the PAL One spectrometer as usual, using the white reference standard inside the cap at the bottom of the spectrometer.

Step 3.2: Liquid Analysis Flow Kit
To ensure optimum results you need to calibrate your spectrometer. Tap the “Calibrate” button in the spectrometer settings to start the process in the Spectroscopy App.
- Perform an open port measurement without the transflection cap mounted on the spectrometer, or, if mounted, with an opened cap and no flow cell inserted.
- Mount the transflection cap on the spectrometer, insert an empty, clean, and dry flow cell and close the cap. Perform a reference measurement.
If two separate flow cells are available, exchange the reference flow cell with the measurement flow cell.
Step 4: Perform a measurement
After successfully calibrating your spectrometer, you can start with your first measurement. Select the application according to your sample type, enter a sample ID and follow the instructions of the operation manual.
For more detailed information about the measurement process, please refer to the respective manuals in the downloads section below.

FAQs
Yes. Perform the calibration of the spectrometer as usual, using the white reference standard inside the cap at the bottom of the spectrometer. Always ensure that you recalibrate the spectrometer when switching between operating modes such as using the Stamp Kit instead of performing reflective measurements.
In addition, we recommend repeating the calibration approximately every hour to maintain accuracy.
To streamline frequent usage, it is advisable to designate one clean and dry flow cell as a reference flow cell and a second as the measurement flow cell. If you only have one flow cell available, be sure to thoroughly clean and dry it before conducting any calibration measurements.
Clean the stamp with a mild detergent such as soap & water and non-fuzzing tissue. Rinse the stamp with ethanol and let the stamp dry or dry with non-fuzzing tissue.
At the end of a series of measurements and before storing, the flow cell must be thoroughly cleaned. To do this, rinse the flow cell first with a suitable solvent and then with pure ethanol. Then dry the flow cell with compressed air, for example. If necessary, clean the flow cell with a special flow cell cleaning agent such as Hellmanex® III cleaning concentrate.
