Liquid Test 3 is an optional test offered for sites that must have proof of linearity
at wavelengths lower than those attainable with the Absorbance Test Plate. This
test verifies operation of the ELx800™ at 340 nm and is optional because the reader
has good “front-end” linearity throughout its wavelength range.
Required Materials:
