Multi Wavelength mode – readings with more than one
wavelength
In the Multi Wavelength mode, absorbance values can be measured at
up to four wavelengths and the results can be mathematically processed
to obtain sums, differences and relationships.
• 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. Concentration is calculated using a
single factor for each wavelength, which is input by the user.

To input the wavelength setting. Use the alphanumeric
λ
Wavelength keypad to enter the reading wavelengths. A wavelength in
the range of 190–1100 nm can be entered.
This functions as a stopwatch. It helps to make sure that the
steps of an analysis are correctly timed (e. g. reaction times,
Timer icon wait times, etc., can be exactly specified). When the
specified time has elapsed, a sound is emitted. The use of
the timer has no influence on the reading program.
