Calculation not
possible
because of
division by zero.
Absorbance
result is zero.
Calculation
error. Division
by zero.
The evaluation required dividing by
an absorbance result with the value of
"zero". This is not mathematically
permissible.
Examples: Calculation of a factor at
one-point calibration; calculation of a
260/280 ratio with nucleic acid
measurements.
Check the reagents and samples used
and repeat the measurement.
Calculation not
possible because of
division by zero.
Absorbance result
or parameter
formula b is zero.
An absorbance result was divided by
a "zero" value during the evaluation
of a Division type method (Dual
wavelength method group). This is
not mathematically permissible.
Check the reagents and samples used
and repeat the measurement.
Do not enter "zero" as a value for the
Formula b parameter.
