Step 7
Units:
The user can enter a text string up to 8
characters long. To access a list of pre-defined units
press the Options key
and then use the
left/right arrows (µg/ml, µg/µl, pmol/µl, mg/dl, mmol/l,
µmol/l, g/l, mg/l, µg/l, U/l, %, ppm, ppb, conc or none).
These units can also be edited once OK
is
pressed.
This screen also allows the number of displayed
decimal points (DP) to be selected, from 0 to 2 Note
that the result will always be fixed to 5 significant
figures regardless of how many decimal points are
selected (so 98768.2 will display as 98768 even with 1
decimal point selected). Press OK
to store the
chosen parameters or Cancel
.
Press the down arrow key.
Step 8
Set the Factor by which the result is multiplied to give
the amount in the chosen range using the left and right
arrows. Range of 0.01 to 9999.
Press the down arrow key.
Step 9
Select whether or not to adjust the name of your
sample before each new run, using left and arrow
keys to select Yes or No.
Press Next
to enter the Results screen or
press Cancel
to return to the Parameters 1
screen.
Results Screen
Insert the reference Press the reference key
.
Insert the sample and press
to start the run.
Time (min) is displayed at the bottom of the screen,
and absorbance data are plotted on the graph as
testing proceeds. The table below the graph gives:
absorbance values at T
0
(start of calculation), T
n
(finish
of calculation, change in absorbance, slope,
regression parameter (R
2
) of the calculated slope and
the result calculated from the selected parameter (dA,
final A or slope).
Use the left and right arrows to move the cursor and
display the time and absorbance value at measured
data points.
