1 To confirm the 2487 Detector startup diagnostics and calibration:
1. Power-on the 2487 Detector and wait for the startup diagnostics to run. The front panel displays
a series of startup verification messages for about five minutes.
ON
If the startup diagnostics fail, note the resultant error message to determine the appropriate
corrective action. Refer to the Waters 2487 Dual λ Absorbance Detector Operator’s Guide, part
number WAT048740.
2. After successfully initializing, the 2487 Detector displays the Absorbance screen (Figure 1-1).
3. Complete the Startup Diagnostics entries in Form 1-3.

1.4.2 Wavelength Accuracy Test
The wavelength accuracy test confirms that programmed wavelengths are within accuracy
specifications.
Note: To ensure maximum testing accuracy, power-on the 2487 Detector at least 60 minutes before
you perform this test. Also, note that no column is required for this test.
FE
Note: To ensure against fingerprints or other marks on the cuvettes, wipe them as required using lens
tissue or a clean, non-particulating cloth.
Before you perform the wavelength accuracy test for the 2487 Detector, be sure you have cuvettes
containing these solutions:
RE
Note: When you fill empty cuvettes, the erbium perchlorate-filled cuvette can be used within 1
year (not to exceed the expiration date of the erbium perchlorate solution) if capped and kept
away from heat and light. Results obtained after 1 year may not be reliable. The water-filled
FO
cuvette can be used within 72 hours if capped and kept away from heat and light. Results
obtained after 72 hours may not be reliable.
3. Flush the 2487 Detector with HPLC-grade water for at least 10 minutes at 1 mL/min. Use an
intermediate solvent, if required.

Preparing the Flow Cell
Before you use a flow cell to perform the wavelength accuracy test:
1. Flush the 2487 Detector with HPLC-grade water for at least 10 minutes at 1 mL/min. Use an
ON
intermediate solvent if required.
2. Run a zero scan on the water in the flow cell as described in step 1 of the “Testing Wavelength
Accuracy” procedure, below.
3. Disconnect the 2487 Detector inlet and outlet lines from the system.
4. Rinse the 10-cc syringe twice with 1 mL of the Waters Erbium Perchlorate Wavelength
Accuracy Solution.
CE
5. Inject 5 mL of the wavelength accuracy solution (10 g/L erbium perchlorate in HPLC-grade
water) into the detector’s flow cell inlet line using the 10-cc syringe and the priming syringe
needle.
6. Allow the erbium perchlorate solution to remain in the flow cell for 15 to 30 seconds.
Proceed to step 3 of the “Testing Wavelength Accuracy” procedure, below.
c. Enter 245 (starting wavelength) for the zero scan, and then press Enter.
d. Enter 545 (ending wavelength) for the zero scan, and then press Enter.
e. Enter 100 nm/min (default) in the Pace field specifying the rate at which the 2487 Detector
scans the specified wavelength range.
RE
2. Remove the cuvette holder. Then remove the water cuvette, replacing it with the cuvette
containing erbium perchlorate. Finally, reinstall the cuvette holder.
3. Run a sample scan at the 2487 Detector as follows:
FO
a. Press SCAN (Shift Chart Mark), 1, New Scan. Then press 1, Sample Scan.
b. Ensure that the wavelength range (starting and ending wavelengths), Pace, and AUFS
parameters correspond to the parameters you entered when performing step 1.
c. Press Run to run the sample scan.

Determine linearity for compounds in your applications during method validation. The linearity
specification for the 2487 Detector is 5%, at 2.5 AU, using propylparaben at 257 nm.
Note: To ensure maximum testing accuracy, power-on the 2487 Detector at least 60 minutes before
you perform this test. Also, note that no column is required for this test.
The Linearity Test can be performed using a flow cell or cuvettes. If you use a flow cell, follow the
procedure in Section 1.4.3.1, Performing the Linearity Test Using a Flow Cell. If you use cuvettes,
CE
follow the procedure in Section 1.4.3.2, Performing the Linearity Test Using Cuvettes.
2. Disconnect the 2487 Detector’s inlet and outlet lines from the system.
3. In Form 1-4, Column B, record the concentration (mg/L) of each test solution (as indicated on its
corresponding Certificate of Analysis).
4. Set the 2487 Detector’s wavelength to 257 nm (λ = 257).
RE
5. Starting with 100% methanol (ampule 1), fill the flow cell using the 10-cc syringe. Leave the
syringe connected to the flow cell inlet while you observe readings. Allow 15 to 30 seconds for
the 2487 Detector’s display to stabilize.
Note: Avoid injecting bubbles.
6. Auto zero the detector by pressing the Auto Zero key on the front panel.
7. Record the absorbance value for test solution 1 in Form 1-4, Column C.
R
8. Draw 1 mL of test solution 2 from the Absorbance Detector Linearity Kit (ampule 2) into the
syringe as a wash, and then discard it. Do this two more times.
FO
9. Refill the syringe with 3 to 5 mL of test solution 2, and then flush the flow cell with the contents
of the syringe. Allow 15 to 30 seconds for the 2487 Detector’s display to stabilize.
10. Record the absorbance value for test solution 2 in Form 1-4, Column C.
11. Continue to use test solutions in ampules 3, 5, 6, and 7 according to step 8 through step 10. Do

12. Calculate the sensitivity value of each solution, the mean sensitivity value, the standard
LY
deviation, and the %RSD, and record these values in the appropriate columns of Form 1-4.
1 ®
If you use the Windows scientific calculator, see Section 1.4.4, Using the Windows Calculator
(Optional).
Note: To avoid round-off or truncation errors, calculate the sensitivity values (Column D) and the
ON
mean and standard deviation of the sensitivity values to five decimal places to the right of the
decimal point. Calculate the %RSD to two decimal places to the right of the decimal point.
E
1. If you are filling empty cuvettes, obtain these items:
• An ampule kit (Waters Absorbance Detector Linearity Test Solution, part number
NC
WAT042881) containing 10 mL of solution at each concentration specified in step 4, below.
• Six empty cuvettes with caps labeled to correspond to the concentrations of linearity testing
solutions obtained from the ampule kit.
2. Rinse each cuvette at least three times with HPLC-grade methanol.
3. Rinse each cuvette three times with approximately 1 mL of the appropriate test solution,
obtained from the ampule kit.
RE
4. Fill each cuvette with 3 to 4 mL of the test solution of the appropriate concentration as listed,
then screw on the appropriate labeled cap finger-tight:
a. Cuvette 1: HPLC-grade methanol, 100%
b. Cuvette 2: propylparaben, 5 mg/L in HPLC-grade methanol
FE
Note: The Waters Linearity Test Solution Kit (part number WAT042881) contains seven
ampules. When using cuvettes, do not use the ampule containing the 15-mg/L concentration
(ampule #4). Use the six remaining ampules to fill the cuvettes as indicated above.
Note: Linearity Test cuvettes are usable within 72 hours of filling when capped and kept away
from heat and light. Results obtained after 72 hours may not be reliable due to evaporation
altering the concentration in the cuvette, which would then affect the absorbance value of the
solution.
