To get started, with the BioMate Tests screen
displayed, move the arrow keys to highlight
Nucleic Acid Tests and press ENTER. A list of
nucleic acid test appears. Move the arrow keys to
highlight the desired test and press ENTER. The
Oligos (calc factor) parameter screen appears.
Note: If Cell Correction is ON, you must run the
Setup Correction program before you can
access the Run Test or Measure
Samples keys.
Setting up test parameters
1. With the Oligos (calc factor) setup screen
displayed, use the arrow keys to highlight the
name of the parameter you want to set.
2. When the parameters are set, you can press
Save Test to save the test or Run Test to
measure the blank and unknowns.
Measuring unknowns
Measuring unknowns automatically (using Auto 6
or Auto 3)
1. Place the blank and unknowns in the correct
cell positions.
2. Press ENTER to start the measurements. The
instrument automatically measures the blank
first, then measures the unknowns and
displays absorbance, oligo concentration in
µg/mL and pmol/µL.
Measuring unknowns manually (using Manual 6 or
Single Cell Positioner)
1. With the Oligos (calc factor) screen
displayed, press Run Test.
2. Place the blank and unknown in the correct cell
positions. If your instrument is equipped with a
6-Position Cell Holder, you can place up to five
samples in the cell holder.
3. Press Measure Blank to measure the blank. If
your instrument is equipped with a 6-Position
Cell Holder, it automatically moves to the B
position to measure the blank. When it
completes the measurement, it returns to its
previous cell position.
4. Press Measure Sample to start the
measurement. If your instrument is equipped
with a 6-Position Cell Holder, press the cell
position buttons on the keypad to re-position
the cell holder and measure the rest of the
unknowns manually.
