Press the [More calc.] softkey.

Peak detection

Press the [Peaks] softkey. For the peak detection you can alternate between two criteria:

λ grid: Evaluation grid on the wavelength scale for the peak detection (e.g., 10 nm).
10 nm example: The spectra section from -5 nm to +5 nm is evaluated in relation to the peak to be
detected.

Min. Δ Abs: Minimum difference between the peak to be detected and the lowest absorbance in the
evaluation grid. No absorbance value in the grid may be higher than the value of the peak at any given
time (e.g.: 0.5).

Nucleic acids method group:

• After the molar mass has been entered (in base/

base pairs or in kDa): Convert the concentration
result to the molar concentration.

• After the sample volume has been entered:

Calculate the total amount in the sample.

Dye labels method group:

Dye:

• After entering the volume of the sample:

Calculate the total amount in the sample.

• For

dsDNA the calculation of the molar concentration is based on the assumption of a

double-stranded nucleic acid. For the

ssDNA, RNA and Oligo methods, a single-stranded

nucleic acid is assumed.

• For methods which have been reprogrammed via

in the Routine main

group,

Nucleic acids method group, always double-stranded nucleic acids are assumed

for calculating the molar concentration.
