It is used for quantitative absorbance and transmittance measurements in laboratories, with common applications in water quality analysis, environmental monitoring of water treatment facilities, clinical analysis, academic research in chemistry and biology, and industrial quality control.
Key performance specs provided are repeatability of ±0.001 A at 1.0 A and drift of <0.0005 A/hr. The light source is a tungsten halogen lamp with >1000 hours service life and detection uses dual silicon photodiodes.
The GENESYS 30/40/50 denotes models in the same platform family that share core design features. Specific model differences (for example in wavelength range, optics or available accessories) vary by configuration—consult the Thermo Fisher datasheet or sales representative to match model features to your application.
The product comes with a two-year return and replacement service. For details on what is covered and how to initiate service, contact Thermo Fisher support with the instrument serial number and purchase information.
The supplied tungsten halogen lamp has a service life of over 1000 hours. The lamp is replaceable; refer to the user manual for replacement procedure and part numbers, or contact Thermo Fisher for authorized replacement and service.
The instrument accepts standard laboratory cuvettes. For most GENESYS models, standard 10 mm pathlength rectangular or round cuvettes are supported. Check the user manual for optional holders for microcuvettes, test tubes or flow cells.
Perform regular photometric checks using certified neutral density filters or reference standards and wavelength checks with certified holmium oxide or didymium filters, following procedures in the user manual. Maintain a log of calibration and validation results per your lab quality system.
Follow the user manual and your lab's safety procedures. Avoid exposure to direct lamp light (UV can be harmful), ensure the sample compartment is closed during measurements, disconnect power before maintenance, and use appropriate PPE when handling hazardous samples or cleaning solvents.
Connectivity and data export options depend on model configuration and software. Many GENESYS instruments support digital output of absorbance/transmittance and accompanying software. Refer to the product datasheet or user manual for available interfaces (USB, RS-232, etc.) and supported file formats.
Routine maintenance includes keeping the sample compartment and cuvette holders clean, replacing the lamp when approaching end of life, periodic photometric and wavelength checks, and following recommended service intervals. Use only approved consumables and follow the service instructions in the manual.
While the instrument is described for clinical analytical and laboratory use, you must verify regulatory and accreditation requirements for your specific diagnostic application. Confirm instrument suitability and any necessary validation/calibration steps with your regulatory body or quality department.
Specific operating temperature and humidity ranges are provided in the product manual and datasheet. For stable measurements, operate the instrument in a controlled laboratory environment free of excessive dust, vibration and temperature swings, and allow proper warm-up time after power-up.
