Overview

• This workshop introduces spectrophotometer verification as a structured quality activity for reliable absorbance-based measurements.
• Participants explore wavelength checks, photometric accuracy, repeatability, stray light awareness, and baseline performance.

Who should attend

• The session suits students, laboratory technicians, analysts, and staff working with spectrophotometric methods in clinical laboratories.

Learning outcomes

• By the end of the workshop, attendees can explain verification steps, interpret acceptance criteria, and review performance records.
• Attendees also learn to recognize drift, poor repeatability, cuvette issues, and other causes of inconsistent readings.
• Outcome discussions strengthen confidence in instrument review, documentation, and routine analytical quality support.

Agenda

• Modules cover spectrophotometer design basics, optical path understanding, and verification workflow planning.
• Participants review wavelength verification, absorbance checks, blank handling, repeat reading practice, and record interpretation.

Hands-on / Demonstrations

• Hands-on discussions demonstrate cuvette inspection, solution preparation awareness, baseline assessment, and stability review.
• Exercises include identifying drift, contamination effects, alignment concerns, lamp performance issues, and repeatability failures.
• Case-based practice links verification results to corrective action, QC review, and release readiness for routine work.

Deliverables
