SECTION 6

– QUANTITATION

The quantitation measurement mode enables sample concentrations to be calculated using a

standard curve. In this mode a number of standard solutions covering a range of known

concentrations are measured. The absorbance or % transmittance of these solutions is plotted to

create a standard curve. Once the standard curve has been created a sample of unknown

concentration can be measured and the concentration calculated using the standard curve.

QUANTITATION MODE SCREEN

The

quantitation

measurement

mode

enables

measurement parameters to be changed. The two

options at the bottom of the screen allow the user to

select the unit of measurement and edit the calibration

standard settings. These options are selected with the

corresponding function buttons.

6.2

WAVELENGTH SELECTION

The wavelength can be adjusted by pressing the GOTO

key on the instrument keypad. The user can

select from the following options:

1. Single WL

2. Isobestic where Abs = Abs

1

– Abs

2

3. 3 Points

The required wavelength values can then be entered using the numeric keypad. Press the Enter key

to confirm.

6.3

METHOD SETUP

In this measurement mode the method setup parameters are accessed by pressing the function keys

below the two options on the quantitation menu screen.

m x Abs

λ1 + n x Absλ3

where: Abs = Abs

λ2 -

m + n

m = Abs

λ3 - Absλ2 and n = Absλ2 - Absλ1
