5.7 Photometry (LCS IV only)
In the photometry mode, photometric measurements can be
carried out as:
• Single wavelength measurements
• Multi wavelength measurements
• Time course
• Wavelength scans
5.7.1 Single Wavelength (absorbance, concentration and transmittance readings)
The Single Wavelength mode can be used in three ways. For
sample readings at a single wavelength, the instrument can be
programmed to measure the absorbance, % transmittance or
concentration of the analyte.
• Absorbance readings: The light absorbed by the sample is
measured in absorbance units.
• % Transmittance measures the percent of the original light
that passes through the sample and reaches the detector.
• Turning on the concentration factor allows selection of a
specific multiplier for converting absorbance readings to
concentration. In a graph of concentration versus the
absorbance, the concentration factor is the slope of the line.
