3GENERAL INFORMATION
PolyPen-Aqua PA 210 is a portable, handheld and reasonably priced spectrophotometer
intended for measuring spectra in suspensions. It can be used favorably in a wide range of
applications –biotechnology, limnology, ecology, molecular biology, chemistry, forensic science
etc. The device is convenient both for standard laboratory work and for field work, well using
its inbuilt GPS unit. The PolyPen-Aqua measures absorbance and transmittance spectra based
on a single beam method; detection range is 380 –790 nm. The device is equipped with an
internal light source - Xenon incandescent lamp.
PolyPen-Aqua can be used as an autonomous instrument. It is powered by an inbuilt Li-Ion
rechargeable battery and thus it does not require a PC or any other bulky accessory for its
operation. Measured spectra are instantly displayed in graphs or data sheets on the device
touch screen. Full spectra information is stored in the device memory for later re-analysis in a
PC. The important part of the PA 210 package is the control software. It allows user-friendly,
online control of the device as well as measured data saving, uploading and further processing
in a PC. Definition of custom calculated parameters based on measured spectra is also possible.
PolyPen-Aqua PA 210 measures:
•Whole absorbance and transmittance spectra:
Transmittance –calculated using the following formula
T= I/I0
Where: I0is reference light intensity
Iis measured light intensity
Absorbance –calculated data using the following formula
A= log(I0/I)
Where: I0is reference light intensity
Iis measured light intensity
•Optical density (OD) at 600 nm, 680 nm, 735 nm and 750 nm.
Optical density –calculated data using the following formula
OD = -log(I/I0)
Where: I0is reference light intensity
Iis measured light intensity

5DESCRIPTION OF THE POLYPEN-AQUA DEVICE
PolyPen-Aqua is a compact, durable and lightweight device operated by single Turn ON/OFF
button and touch screen (Fig. 1 PolyPen-Aqua device.Fig. 1). It features an innovative user
interface with an integral computer, a full color touch screen display and an in-built light source.
The sample is measured in a plastic cuvette inserted into an optical head and covered by a top
lid.

7OPERATION INSTRUCTION
This chapter provides instructions on an initial set-up operation of the PolyPen-Aqua PA 210
device as well as detailed, step-by-step description of a measurement procedure.
To switch the PolyPen-Aqua ON, press the POWER BUTTON until the device logo shows up.
Follow next steps to perform the measurements. In case the device battery is not charged,
connect the PolyPen with USB cable via USB port to the PC and charge the batteries.
7.1 Calibration
Calibration of the PolyPen-Aqua device MUST be done prior measurement after the turning ON
of the device or it should be periodically repeated upon certain time period of the device
operation.
For calibration of device use plastic cuvette with clear media.
Please follow the instructions below for device calibration:
•Use the standard 4 ml cuvette.
•Clean the cuvette with distilled water and paper tissue.
•As a calibration standard use cultivation medium (BBM, BG11 etc.) or distilled water.
•Put cuvette with medium (minimal volume 2 ml) into the PolyPen-Aqua device and
close the cover.
•In the main window go to Calibrate > press OK (Fig. 2) and wait until the calibration
step is completed.
