Measuring the sample
Measuring unknowns automatically (using Manual
6 or Single Cell Positioner)
1. With the Warburg-Christian screen displayed,
place the blank and unknowns in the correct
cell positions.
2. Press ENTER to start the measurements. The
instrument automatically measures the blank
first, then measures the unknowns and
displays the absorbance and concentration of
each unknown.
Measuring unknowns manually (using Manual 6 or
Single Cell Positioner)
1. With the Warburg-Christian screen displayed,
press Run Test.
2. Place the blank and unknown in the correct cell
positions. If your instrument is equipped with a
6-Position Cell Holder, you can place up to five
samples in the cell holder.
3. Press Measure Blank to measure the blank. If
your instrument is equipped with a 6-Position
Cell Holder, it automatically moves to the B
position to measure the blank. When it
completes the measurement, it returns to its
previous cell position.
4. Press Measure Sample to start the
measurement. If your instrument is equipped
with a 6-Position Cell Holder, press the cell
position buttons on the keypad to re-position
the cell holder and measure the rest of the
unknowns manually.
5. When the instrument has measured all the
unknowns, it displays the absorbance and
concentration.
Cell Growth
The cell growth measurement uses absorbance at
600nm to indicate the progress of cell growth in a
sample. The instrument does not perform any
calculations or graphing for the data.
To get started, move the arrow keys on the
BioMate Tests screen to highlight Cell Growth
and press ENTER. The Cell Growth setup screen
appears.
Note: If Cell Correction is ON, you must run the
Setup Correction program before you can
access the Run Test or Measure
Samples keys.
Setting up test parameters
1. With the Cell Growth setup screen displayed,
use the arrow keys to highlight the name of the
parameter you want to set.
2. When the parameters are set, you can press
Save Test to save the test or Run Test to
measure the blank and unknowns.
