Basic Concentration Measurements
Use Basic ATC mode to make basic concentration measurements. This basic concentration
mode is useful for very simple comparisons that do not require a standard curve. You cannot
save data in this application or factors used when a single standard is measured. For better
accuracy and the ability to save and recall methods and data, use the Standard Curve
application mode described in
“Concentration Measurements—Standard Curve Application”
.
Measuring concentration using the Basic ATC mode is similar to measuring Absorbance or
%T. Basic ATC mode lets you measure concentration using either a factor or one standard to
convert absorbance readings to concentration units.
• When using a factor, specify the factor and concentration units.
• When using a standard, specify the concentration of the standard and measure its
absorbance.
When Basic ATC is set to Conc/Std or Conc/Factor, you can perform these tasks.
