Measure modes 

 
The following measure modes can be selected prior to start of an analysis: 

  Continuous 
  Volumetric counting with electrodes 
  Volumetric counting with volume 
  Events in region 

Continous (default selection)

 

This default mode will allow you to run your sample until its levels reached the stop electrode. 

Volumetric Counting with Electrodes 

This measuring mode uses the START and STOP electrodes of the sample port to define a fixed sample 
volume. In a standard sample port this “counting volume” is 200 µl. In a pre-counting phase the sample is 
acquired normally as in continuous acquisition mode. Reaching the START electrode the data are 
cleared and the volumetric counting phase starts. Reaching the STOP electrode the counting procedure will 
be terminated and a system cleaning cycle will be initiated automatically 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

Volumetric Counting with Volume 

In the measure mode volumetric counting with volume the counting volume is flexible and can be pre-
selected by the user. In a first analysis phase the sample is acquired normally as in continuous acquisition 
mode. Reaching the pre-selected volume the data are cleared and the volumetric counting phase starts and 
the pre-selected volume will be analyzed. The volume can be used as the basis for concentration 
determination.  

Events in Region 

The Events in Region measure mode allows to define a number of particles within a specified region to 
operate as STOP condition (select the respective MaxCount function in the REGIONS register). 

 

Advice:  for  the  measure  modes  Volumetric  counting  with  volume  and  Events  in  Region  there  will  be  a 
remaining  sample  volume  left-over  within  the  sample  tube.  In  this  case  the  cleaning  cycle  will  only  be 

triggered when the START button 

 is pressed. Subsequently the data can be saved. 

Be aware: for all measure modes the sample analysis automatically stops when the sample is finished (the 
stop electrode is reached) even if the selected end criteria is not yet realized. 

Working principle of the 
Absolute Volumetric 
Counting with Electrode
