the new method, containing the modified parameters, is not overwritten to the previous
one, instead, it will be named with the
Short Name field
content. Rename the file (see
picture 1 in the previous page) using the right hand button of the mouse, as described
in the package insert, give the same release number (R): access to Edit Method and
delete the original *MD file.
Attention: Do not change the method settings during an execution command
(GO/Clean/Prime Enzyme/Blank/Calibrate); the instrument could halt immediately and loose
the communication with the software; in this case it is necessary to reboot the PC and the
instrument before starting the routine.
Description of method fields (in Edit method)
¾
The
Method definition
panel:
Short Name
: method name; is giving the name to the file, by default (max 10 digits).
Description
: name/ method description (max 10 digits).
Execution
: different kind of execution modes are available:
End Point, Fixed Time,
Kinetics
and
Beta
, as described in § 3.3.
STD
units
:
calibrators concentrations, expressed in standard unit (SI), according to the
international standards (mM,
µ
M, meq./L).
User
units
:
used to obtain different measure units from standard units.
Cnv
factor
: used to convert standard units (calibrator units) into
User
units
.
Conversion of standard units into other units (user units):
Insert the new measure units in the
User units
field and insert the conversion factor
(
Cnv
.factor) in the relative field and select
Save
. The software makes the following
transformation:
Result (user unit)= Cnv. Factor x Result (STD unit);
Example for G Fructose :
STD units: mM
User units: g/L
Cnv factor: 0.18
The STD value is 200 mM;
Result STD (g/L) = 0.18 x 200 (mM) = 36 (g/L)
Therefore, the same result (200mM), after
user unit
and
conversion factor
(cvn factor) have
been introduced, becomes 36 g/L.
Note
:
To return to standard units, delete the
User units
content and press
Save
. Automatically, the
program gives the next results back in standard units.
¾
Execution parameters
panel:
Temperature (°C): defines the temperature of each method execution.
Measure
Time (sec.):
total measure time from the selection of GO command (or F5 function
key) to the end of the measure and the start of cleaning (see § 3.2.3)
