Lightwave UV/Vis Diode Array Spectrophotometer

Kinetics

The kinetics facility allows the user to run a series of measurements at
programmed intervals.

To program a method to include multiple measurements select:-

Kinetics

Yes

No

using the

←→

keys to highlight the Yes option.

The following screen will be displayed:-

Start Time

This is the delay before the first measurement is made.

Interval

This is the interval between measurements. There is a minimum interval of
10 seconds.

End Time

This increases in increments of the interval time.

The software can calculate automatically the change in Absorbance per
minute (

∆

A/min) using a least squares correction.

The correlation coefficient is displayed (1.000 is a perfect fit, 0.000 is no fit),
along with

∆

A/min and the concentration (

∆

A/min. Factor).

To program the time place the cursor over the desired selection and press
key 4 to change.

Use the arrow keys to move between digits and to increase or decrease the
value. The interval time is restricted to values above 10 seconds. The
maximum period is 59m 59s after completion of the START time.
