Section 8 - Quantitation
The quantitation measurement mode enables sample concentrations to be calculated using a standard curve. In
this mode a number of standard solutions covering a range of known concentrations are measured at a set
wavelength. The absorbance or % transmittance of these solutions is plotted to create a standard curve. Once the
standard curve has been created a sample of unknown concentration can be measured and the concentration
calculated using the standard curve. Touch the Quantitation icon on the main menu to enter this measurement mode.
8.1
Method Set up
The parameters which can be entered in this measurement mode are the wavelength, number of replicates for the
calibration standards and concentration units of the calibration standards.
8.1.1
Selecting a Wavelength
To adjust the wavelength, touch
and use the keypad to enter the required wavelength. Touch
to apply the entered wavelength and return to the method set up. The wavelength selected needs to be the same
for the measurement of the standards as for the unknown sample.
