6 Methods
6.1 Selecting a method
Methods and method templates are delivered preprogrammed. The methods are organized in main groups
and subgroups.
To call a method, first use the cursor keys to select the main group, subgroup and the method. Confirm
each with enter.
Tab. 6-1: Photometric methods
Write-protected methods The most important methods in molecular biology.
Parameters can be modified, but the modified parameters
must be saved under a new method name.
Non-write-protected methods You can change parameters any number of times and start
the measurement right after saving.
New methods ("templates") Each method group contains a template which is
preprogrammed with complete parameter sets to facilitate
the programming of new methods. The parameters can be
changed and saved under new names any number of times.
Absorbance Methods for fast, simple absorbance measurements without additional
evaluations
Routine Frequently used molecular biology methods. The methods are
preprogrammed. However, the parameters can be modified if saved under
a new name.
Basic Methods for the evaluation of absorbance measurements with factor,
standard or standard curve/line.
