6.2.2.1 Specific data
End point
Readings.
Measuring time starting when last reagent was added if more than
one or when sample was added if only one reagent is present. When
Extra Preci-
sion is used (recommended), two consecutive readings are averaged.
Fixed Point
Readings. Incubation
is the time interval between addition of last reagent and
the first reading. Reaction time is the time interval between two readings. When
Extra Precision is used (recommended), each value is the linear interpolation of
two readings, one before and one after the specified time.
Kinetics
Readings. Incubation is the time interval between addition of last reagent and
the first reading. Reaction time is the time interval in which 10 readings are per-
formed. These 10 readings define the slope for the concentration calculation (in
some cases, only 9 points are considered; see section 6.1.3.
