6. Present and measure your standard as instructed in the message bar.

The software immediately begins live display of concentration and the message bar
prompts you to present your sample.

7. Remove the blank cuvette, place the sample cuvette in the measurement position, and

close the lid.

The

Result

field shows a live display of calculated concentration. Continue presenting

additional samples. The display updates every two seconds. The Result value flashes to
indicate that a new reading has been recorded.

Below the Result field, the software displays the standard concentration, the measured
absorbance of the standard, and the calculated factor.

8. Press

to stop live measurements, clear the calibration, and re-measure the standard

solution.



To print the displayed value

If your instrument is equipped with a printer accessory, you can press

to print the

currently displayed value with a time and date stamp. In concentration mode, the information
displayed below the

Result

field is also printed.

GENESYS 30 does not support saving Live Display methods to the library because the
parameters of the measurement are so simple.

Live display measurements are transient and are not stored in memory, so it is also not
possible to save Live Display data electronically. Users requiring a tabular record of absorbance
vs. time may opt to purchase VISION

lite

™ software to run a kinetics experiment from an

attached Windows™ computer.
