11. Use a lint-free laboratory wipe to clean both the sample window on
pedestal and mirror in lid arm prior to applying the next sample.
Note: It can be helpful to apply the blank a second time and read it as a
sample to ensure a proper blank.
12. Apply sample to the sample window on pedestal and press the sample

CALCULATIONS
In this method, the concentration of the sample is calculated based on the Beer-Lambert law
given the user specified wavelength of interest and user defined extinction coefficient. The
equations for calculating concentration without background correction are as follows:
Without background correction:
C Concentration (ng/µl)
Absorbance at user specified path length n (10 mm path)
Dilution factor
ε extinction coefficient/factor
