6.3.3 

High Meniscus Liquids 

When measuring liquids that produce a high meniscus, the measured optical 
density can be incorrect as the instrument normally measures the optical density 
at three positions in the well and uses this average measured optical density as 
the optical density for the well. 

 

Normal Mode

  

3 positions, 8 measurements per position. 

Positions are 0.4375 mm apart. 

Accuracy Mode

  

3 positions, 55 measurements per position. 

Positions are 0.4375 mm apart. 

 

Normal meniscus 

High meniscus 

 

 

Center Mode

 

1 position, 22 measurements.
