To measure using a custom method
Before you begin...
Before taking pedestal measurements with the NanoDrop One instrument, lift the instrument
arm and clean the upper and lower pedestals. At a minimum, wipe the pedestals with a new
laboratory wipe. For more information, see Cleaning the Pedestals.
To measure a sample using a custom method
1. Make sure the method resides in same location as the database where you want to store
the measurement results (see To Load a Custom Method for details).
2. From the Home screen, select the Custom tab and tap Custom.
If the instrument has a working Ethernet or wireless connection to a remote personal
computer (PC), the Data Storage message box appears.
– To run a custom method that is loaded on the instrument and store all subsequently
acquired measurement results in the database on the instrument, set Data Storage to
Local (see example above).
– To run a custom method that resides on a personal computer connected to the
instrument with an Ethernet cable and store all subsequently acquired measurement
results in the database on that computer, set Data Storage to Direct-Connect PC (see
“Set Up Ethernet Connection” in Set Up the Instrument for more information).
– To run a custom method that resides on a personal computer connected to the
instrument through a wireless network and store all subsequently acquired
measurement results in the database on that computer, set Data Storage to the
computer’s assigned name (see “Set Up Wi-Fi Connections” in Set Up the
Instrument for more information).
NOTICE
• Do not use a squirt or spray bottle on or near the instrument as liquids will flow into
the instrument and may cause permanent damage.
• Do not use hydrofluoric acid (HF) on the pedestals. Fluoride ions will permanently
damage the quartz fiber optic cables.
