Method
The definition of a method includes selecting:
• Endpoint, Kinetic or Well Scanning Read Modes
• Delay first read
• Incubation parameters
• Wavelengths applied
• Shake parameters
• Kinetic analysis

READ TYPE
This option allows the user to enter which read type, Endpoint, Kinetic or
Scan.
Endpoint: The plate is read once. The unit of measure is Optical Density.
Kinetic: The plate is read several times. Three different types of data are
available:
a) For a rate determination, the data calculated is the rate of OD
change. After determining the maximum rate of change per well
using linear regression, the units are milliOD/min.
b) The R-squared value is an indication of how well the points fit the
linear curve.
