Modes for Measurement
Photometric Mode: This mode allows you to measure the absorbance and concentration of a sample at a specific wavelength.
Quantitation Mode: This mode allows you to quantitatively analyze a sample using the calibration curve.
Spectrum Mode: This mode allows you to acquire the absorption or transmission spectrum in the desired wavelength band.
Kinetics Mode: This mode allows you to measure the absorbance or transmittance of a sample over time.
Photometric Mode: In this mode, the absorbance (Abs) (or transmittance (%T)) at a specific wavelength can be easily measured. The factor (K) value can be set to allow a simple quantitative test (C = K × A) on a sample to be performed making it possible for absorbance (Abs) measurement. Up to 8 wavelengths can be set, and the absorbance at each wavelength is measured automatically.
· Automatic analysis for up to 7 samples is possible using the multi-cell holder.
Quantitation Mode: It is a mode that can measure and manage the calibration curve by utilizing the multi-cell holder. Quantitative analysis for a sample of interest can be performed using a calibration curve made by up to 7 concentrations of the sample. Four types of calibration curves including linear (zero-crossing), linear, quadratic, and cubic types are provided.
· Accurate calibration curve can be created with the values measured repeatedly for a maximum of 5 times.
Spectrum Mode: This mode allows the user to check the spectrum of the desired wavelength band. Absorbance (Abs) and transmittance (%T) data can be switched using a shortcut key. Automatic spectrum analysis for up to 7 samples (excluding the reference sample) is possible. This mode includes the functions to zoom in the section and to find the Peak/Valley location of the spectrum.
Kinetics Mode: This mode allows the user to check the change in absorbance(or transmittance) over time at a specific wavelength. This mode is measured at regular intervals, and the minimum interval that can be set is for 1 second. This mode’s progresses during the measurement is displayed, and 24-hour measurement is possible. The changes in the absorbance of 7 samples can be obtained automatically.
