ENTERING A MULTIPLE POINT CALIBRATION
The SMART3 can directly create a 2 point calibration curve. (See Entering a
Two Point Calibration on page 47.) To create a multiple point calibration curve,
constants obtained from a linear regression of multiple data points can be
entered into the SMART 3.
1. Scan reactions of multiple concentrations at the appropriate wavelength in the
absorbance mode on the SMART3.
2. Plot the concentration (y axis) versus absorbance (x axis) in a program
capable of linear regression such as Excel.
3. Enter the constants obtained from the linear regression equation into the
SMART3.
For Example:
y = 0.001x
3
– 0.017x
2
+ 0.181x – 0.049
K0 = – 0.049
K1 = 0.181
K2 = – 0.017
K3 = 0.001
OR (Over Range) = 10
