The probes provide a convenient way of performing absorption or transmission measurements by dipping
or inserting the probe end into the medium or environment. This accessory is especially useful for
embedding into process streams for real-time, on-line sample monitoring.
• Easy to install
• Dip Probe for measuring liquid samples without using a cell

09931297D
NOTE:
Start the sample measurement after warming up at least 20 minutes.
1. Launch the UV Lab software.
2. Choose the Fiber Module in the Accessory Type.
3. After dipping the probe into the blank solution, select the intensity mode, and then click Blank. By
changing the Integration no. up to 30000, adjust the D2 peak intensity not to be saturated in the
spectrum as shown in the picture below.

4. Select the Absorbance mode and measure blank and sample.
Troubleshooting
When the Intensity value is lo w
Before measurement, make sure that bubble does not exist at the mirror side of the probe.
5. Clean the probe with D.I water after the measurement.

1. Make sure that bubble does not exist at the mirror side of the probe.
If bubbles existed, the intensity of the light is low due to scattering of bubbles. You should remove
the bubbles completely and perform measuring.
2. Increase the Integration Number in the UV Lab Software
You should increase the Integration Number since the intensity of the light which passes through the
fiber is somewhat weak.
3. Check the condition of the fiber optic probe
Check if the lens placed inside the fiber optic probe is contaminated.
Remove the contaminant with alcohol.
