To measure the next sample, press the
key again.
Sample dilution
Sample dilution in the measuring cuvette can be entered
using the
key before the measurement begins and
is then included automatically in the result calculation
(see "Measuring diluted samples").
The OD 600 measurement is a stray-light measurement;
the result is therefore heavily dependent on the geometry
of the light path, which may vary between photometers
from different manufacturers.
