Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How do I check the accuracy of my NanoDrop 2000/2000c Spectrophotometer?

Our NanoDrop CF-1 Calibration Fluid should be used with the Calibration Check module of the instrument software. CF-1 is prepared from the NIST potassium dichromate standard SRM935 in acidified reagent grade water (Certificate of Analysis available from NanoDrop products).

How often do I need to check the calibration of my NanoDrop Lite Spectrophotometer?

We recommend confirming that your NanoDrop Lite Spectrophotometer is working within specifications every 6 months. The NanoDrop CF-1 Calibration Fluid is required to run the calibration check procedure. CF-1 is available from Thermo Fisher website (Cat. No. CHEM-CF-1)

How do I check the accuracy of my NanoDrop Lite Spectrophotometer?

The accuracy of your NanoDrop Lite Spectrophotometer can be checked by using the NanoDrop CF-1 Calibration Fluid to perform a calibration check. CF-1 is prepared from the NIST potassium dichromate standard SRM935 in acidified reagent grade water.

My NanoDrop 8000 Spectrophotometer failed calibration check. What should I do?

Please review the following steps to take when/if your NanoDrop 8000 Spectrophotometer fails a calibration check:
- Clean the pedestal with the NanoDrop PR-1 Reconditioning Kit
- Repeat calibration check using a FRESH vial of NanoDrop CF-1 Calibration Fluid and FRESH blanking solution
- If instrument continues to be out of specification, Contact Technical Support

How do I check the calibration of my NanoDrop 8000 Spectrophotometer? Do I need to calibrate it?

You can easily check the calibration of your NanoDrop 8000 Spectrophotometer by using the NanoDrop CF-8 Calibration Check Kit, which contains two CF-1 Ampules and two 8-well PCR tube strips. The CF-8 kit is available from the Thermo Fisher website (Cat. No. CHEM-CF-8).
If re-calibration is ever needed, it is performed by a trained service technician. Due to the precise nature of the NanoDrop instrument design, these spectrophotometers rarely require re-calibration.
