6.3.1
Measurements with Wavelengths below 400 nm
Measurements with filter values below 400 nm require a higher amplification of
the analog signal, because the light intensity of the halogen lamp is very low in
this wavelength range.
This amplification is automatically activated by the firmware, when a
measurement with the above mentioned filter range is started.
6.3.2
Agglutination Measurement Mask for SUNRISE ST Option
The
Sunrise ST
instrument can perform Agglutination measurements, where the
optical density is measured up to 40 times across each well.

A gg lutination M ask (used for S U N R IS E ST )
The
SUNRISE ST
instrument is fitted with a special mask fitted to the lower part
of the transport box so that a very thin beam of light is produced. The
agglutination mask is not available as a spare part. As it is fitted to the transport
box, the transport box has to be ordered in case this part is faulty.
Note:
The Agglutination Mask for the SUNRISE
ST
is different than the one for the SUNRISE
TW.
