Setting the Kinetics Measurement Time
To set the total kinetics measurement time touch
and enter the required run time. Scroll up or down
beneath Hours, Minutes, Seconds to select the required time and touch
to apply. Touch
to exit the
run time set up without saving the changes.
9.1.3
Setting the Measurement Time Interval
This is the time that the instrument waits between each measurement during the kinetics run. If it is set to zero
then the instrument will perform a measurement at every second during the kinetics run. For example if the run
time is 1 hour and the interval is 60 seconds, then the instrument will perform a reading every 60 seconds during
the kinetics run.
To set the interval time touch
. Scroll up or down beneath Hours, Minutes, Seconds to select the required
time and touch
to apply. Touch
to exit the interval time set up without saving the changes.
NOTE:
Minimum interval is 00:00:01
9.1.4
Setting Lag Time
In this measurement mode starting the kinetics measurements can be delayed by setting a lag time. The lag time is
the amount of time that the instrument will wait before starting the kinetics measurements after the Sample icon
has been touched.
To set the lag time touch
. Scroll up or down beneath Hours, Minutes, Seconds to select the required time
and touch
to apply. Touch
to exit the lag time set up without saving the changes.
9.1.5
Selecting Absorbance or % Transmittance
The default operating mode is absorbance. To change this between absorbance or % transmittance, touch
or
to select the required measurement mode. Repeat touches will cycle between
the two options.
9.1.6
End Point Concentration
Following the kinetics run the end point concentration can be calculated using the absorbance value at the end of
the kinetics run. Any point can also be selected so that the concentration can be calculated at any time in the
kinetics run. A factor is used to calculate concentration.
Touch
for access to factor and units. To adjust factor touch
and use
the keypad to enter the required factor. Touch
to apply the entered factor and return to the method set up.
The units of concentration can be selected from several options. Touch
to select from the menu. Touch the
circle
adjacent to the required unit of concentration. The selected unit will be displayed against the final
concentration result.
Touch
to apply the concentration parameters and return to method set up.
