6.4.5 Process results
The sample measurement is followed by two optional steps in the method sequence: process results and
print & export.
In the process results step, you can convert the concentration results to molar concentrations or, after
entering the volumes, into total amounts for the methods of the Nucleic acids group.
As for the result display, you can navigate between the sample results of the measurement series with the
and cursor keys and select results for postprocessing.
Tab. 6-3: More calculations
Press the [More calc.] softkey.
• After the molar mass has been entered (in base/
base pairs or in kDa): Convert the concentration
result to the molar concentration.
• After the sample volume has been entered:
Calculate the total amount in the sample.
• [Save]: Save changes and return to the process
results method step.
• [Cancel]: Cancel and return to the process results
method step.
•For dsDNA the calculation of the molar concentration is based on the assumption of a
double-stranded nucleic acid. For the ssDNA, RNA and Oligo methods, a single-stranded
nucleic acid is assumed.
• For methods which have been reprogrammed via <New Method> in the Routine main
group, Nucleic acids method group, always double-stranded nucleic acids are assumed
for calculating the molar concentration.
