For Archimedes Micro and Nano sensors
Two types of calibration standards are available for use in Archimedes. These standards are monodisperse and each contains NIST latex microspheres of a particular size and density. Each standard is supplied pre-mixed to the correct concentration for immediate use with Archimedes.
• NIST standards.
• Supplied pre-mixed to the correct concentration in a vial which is attached directly to Archimedes for immediate use.
• Guidance for fast and simple calibration provided by ParticleLab software.
• Two calibration standards, for Hi-Q Micro and Nano sensors.
How it works
When a new sensor is installed in Archimedes, a calibration exercise should be performed to check and optimize the sensor. Pre-mixed calibration standards of NIST, monodisperse latex microspheres are provided to carry out calibration, which is led by ParticleLab software. Standards are supplied for direct use without dilution or aliquoting.
