Section 9 - Kinetics
The kinetics measurement mode enables the absorbance or % transmittance of an active molecule to be measured
over a set time; for example, enzyme activity. The absorbance or % transmittance is measured at regular time
intervals at one wavelength over time. The results are plotted on a graph to show the change in absorbance or %
transmittance over time. Following sample measurements analysis of all or part of the experiment can be
performed
9.1
Method Set up
The parameters which can be entered in this measurement mode are wavelength, run time, measurement time
interval, lag time, absorbance or % transmittance measurement mode, and the concentration parameters. Once
all the required parameters have been entered a calibration can be performed.
9.1.1
Selecting a Wavelength
The wavelength can be adjusted by touching the wavelength value
and using the keypad to enter the
required wavelength. Touch
to apply the entered wavelength and return to the method set up.
