3.3.1 Defining Well Kinetic Measurements with Injections
A Kinetic Measurement means that the whole plate is measured in several
consecutive cycles with the same settings.
To define a Well Kinetic, select Well from the Control bar by double-clicking or
drag the Well program element from the Control bar into the Workflow pane
and drop it between Part of Plate and Kinetic Cycles. If necessary, a Kinetic
interval can be defined.
Injectors’ parameters can be defined using the Injection program element from
the Control bar. Double-click it or drag and drop it between Kinetic cycles and
Absorbance in the Workflow pane. Define volume and speed.
In the Kinetic Condition program element, define after which kinetic cycle the
injection should be performed. Drag it between Kinetic Cycle and Injection in
the Workflow pane and define at which kinetic cycle (e.g. after kinetic cycle 3)
the injection (=command) should be executed.
It is very important to Release the Absorbance program element to the same
indentation as the Kinetic Condition for kinetic measurements.

Indent or Release Program Elements.
The Workflow pane appears as shown in the screenshot:
After having finished the definition as described above start the measurement by
clicking the
button on the toolbar.
When clicking the Start button, Excel opens automatically and the results are
displayed in a worksheet.
