12 Biochemical Analysis Software for Agilent ChemStation
2 Kinetics Mode
Preparing a Time Based Measurement
Before you perform a time based measurement you have to setup your system
according to your application. In this section you will learn to setup your
spectrophotometer, to select and setup the a sampling system and to develop a
kinetic method. This will enable you to use the features of the biochemical
analysis software in order to find the best solution for your kinetic
measurement.
Starting the Kinetics Mode
To start the kinetics mode of the biochemical analysis software choose
Kinetics in the Mode menu or in the mode drop down box of the graphical user
interface.
Figure 1 shows the graphical user interface for the kinetics mode of the
Agilent ChemStation software. The current mode is shown in the mode drop
down box on the Toolbar. The Toolbar also includes the method name field,
where the name of the actual analytical method is displayed. The letters Mod
next to the method name field indicate that this method has been modified
and that these modifications have not been stored yet. The Toolbar also
includes several shortcut buttons, which are described in detail in the
Agilent 8453 UV-visible Spectroscopy System Operator’s Manual.
