3.4 Kinetic Measurements
Performing a kinetic measurement on Galapagos:
Kinetic measurements refer to recorded measurements over the course of a set time period. To
perform a kinetic measurement, open Galapagos as mentioned in section 3.2.
1.
For kinetics measurements, click on the
timer icon for timed measurements. This is
indicated by ‘Timing On’
Users can then input the required kinetic parameters for a measurement cycle. The measurement cycle
refers to the point of absorbance measurement including any timed delay and/or interval until the next
reading.
Note: the use of a delay is optional (tick or un-tick), whereas the interval and the number of cycles is
not.
2.
Users can input delays between
measurements.
