Sample concentration too low for 0.3 µl - change 
volume and parameter settings to 1 µl 

The measurement parameters for 0.3 µl 
NanoVolume samples read only the 0.07 mm path 
length (dilution 140). The utilized sample 
concentration is too low. Please use 1 µl of the 
sample and change the volume setting to 1-2 µl. 
Minimum concentrations for the 0.07 mm path 
length for dsDNA 420 ng/µl and for BSA 12.6 mg/ml.
