Thermo NanoDrop 2000c Xenon Lamp Replacement and Wavelength Calibration
A Thermo NanoDrop 2000c spectrophotometer at UC San Diego was experiencing a start-up failure and wavelength verification error. During diagnostics, the optical switch was unable to complete wavelength verification because the Xenon light source was not illuminating during startup. Inspection confirmed that the Xenon lamp had failed electrically. Power and signal lines to the lamp were checked, and no arc discharge or lamp output was observed, while the optical switch itself was found to be func...
