SECTION 7 – CALIBRATION OF THE MICRO VOLUME ACCESSORY
Jenway recommends that the micro volume accessory is calibrated every 6 months. A set of calibration
solutions (Part code 035 092) are supplied with the Genova Nano spectrophotometer. Please note that
the calibration solutions should be discarded 1 week after being opened.
When using the calibration solutions we advise the use of chemically resistant gloves and googles and
that there is eye wash available immediately. We recommend safe handling of the calibration solution -
avoid skin contact, direct inhalation or ingestion of the standards as advised in the MSDS.

standard and the path length at which these values
were determined.
The micro volume settings can be accessed by
pressing the key below the Micro Volume icon in
any of the Genova Nano's operating modes.
1. Enter the A260 and A330 DNA standard
