holder and measure the rest of the standards
manually.
When the instrument has measured all the
standards, the Standards screen appears,
showing the absorbance of each standard,
along with the slope, intercept and correlation
coefficient of the standard curve.
You can use this screen to:
• Edit the standards press (Edit Standards)
• Display a graph of the standard curve data
(press View Graph)
• Save the standard curve (press Save Test)
• Measure your samples (press Run Test)
If you want to switch between tabular and graphical
displays, press View Graph/Tabular.
Measuring unknowns
Measuring unknowns automatically (using Auto 6
or Auto 3)
1. With the Standards screen displayed, press
Run Test. The Samples screen appears.
2. Place the blank and unknowns in the correct
cell positions.
3. Press ENTER to measure. The instrument
automatically measures the blank first, then
measures the unknowns. When the instrument
has measured all the unknowns, the Standard
Curve screen appears, showing the
absorbance and concentration of each
unknown.
Measuring unknowns manually (using Manual 6 or
Single Cell Platform)
1. With the Standards screen displayed, press
Run Test. The Samples screen appears.
2. Place the blank and unknowns in the correct
cell positions.
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 Samples to measure the
unknowns. 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. When the instrument has measured
all the unknowns, the Standards screen
appears, showing the absorbance and
concentration of each unknown.
Editing a standard curve
You may edit the concentration of any standard on
a standard curve. In addition, you may change the
number of standards, select a different curve fit or
delete points from the curve.
