Hi all, another reason to get low readings from the UV meter can be a drift in the baseline. The photometer is properly calibrated only when you turn it on, I think. Since we have our machine running in the coldroom without (usually) turning it off for month, we have observed wrong 260/280 ratios and weak signals at 280 nm. This was simply cured by turning off and on. Gottfried
