6 Parameter and functions
BioPhotometer plus — Operating manual
REGRESSION
Selection:
Linear and non-linear 
regression
Evaluation procedure of the multi-point calibration.
•
Linear regression is possible for:
2 to 10 standards
•
Non-linear regression is possible for:
(single measurement:) 5 to 10 standards
(double or triple measurement:) 4 to 10 standards.
STD 1 to STD 10
Numerical input (numbers and 
decimal point, 5 digits)
Nominal concentration for each standard. Unit as entered in 
the parameter display 1.
The number of digits after the decimal point in the nominal 
concentration of the first standard determines the number of 
digits after the decimal point in the result. The 
concentrations must be entered in ascending order.
CORRECTION
Selection:
•
NO CORRECTION
•
CORRECTION A
340
•
CORRECTION A
550 (or 650)
CORRECTION A
340
Can be used for the partial correction of the effect of minor 
turbidity in the measuring solution: The absorbance 
measured at 340 nm is subtracted from the absorbance 
results at 230, 260 and 280 nm prior to subsequent 
evaluation.
CORRECTION A
550 (or 650)
Can be used for the "Dye methods" to correct the effect of 
the dye on the measuring absorbances of the biomolecule 
(nucleic acid or protein): The absorbance of the dye 
measured at 550 (or 650) nm is multiplied with a correction 
factor for 260 or 280 nm. The result is subtracted from the 
absorbances of the biomolecule at 260 or 280 nm prior to 
subsequent evaluation for the biomolecule (see Dye-labeled 
biomolecules ("dye methods") on page 22). The correction 
factors are entered further down in the parameter list after 
selecting the dye.
CY3 (or Cy5)
ALEXA .....
Selection
For "Dye methods": selection of the dye (see Dye-labeled 
biomolecules ("dye methods") on page 22).
ABS.COEFF.
Numerical input (6 digits)
For "Dye methods": input of the absorbance coefficient for 
the selected dye in the unit "cm
-1
·M
-1
".
CORRECTION 
A
550 (650)
: F
260
CORRECTION 
A
550 (650)
: F
260
Numerical input (5 digits)
Only if in "Dye methods" the parameter 
CORRECTION A
550 (or 650)
has been enabled:
Entry of the correction factors for taking into account the 
effect of the dye on the measurement absorbances of the 
biomolecule (see description of the parameter 
CORRECTION A
550 (or 650)
above).
CALCULATION FOI
Selection:
•
MOLECULE DYE / kb
•
pmole/μg DNA (or RNA)
For "Dye methods": selection of the procedure for calculating 
the frequency of incorporation (see Dye-labeled 
biomolecules ("dye methods") on page 22).
