5.2 Methods
The following methods are available and already preprogrammed ex factory. You can modify
most parameters and save them as a modified method (see Parameter on page 26).
Method group Method Explanation Wavelength
DNA dsDNA Calculating the concentration of DNA with
evaluation via factor. The methods differ
mainly in the preprogrammed factor.
Measuring wavelength: 260 nm
Secondary wavelengths to check
for purity: 230, 280, 340 nm
ssDNA
OLIGO DNA
RNA RNA Analogous to method group DNA. As method group DNA.
OLIGO RNA
Protein BCA Calculating the concentration of proteins after
adding reagent. The methods are
preprogrammed with the evaluation procedure
calibration curve. Number and target
concentration of the standards can be
modified.
550 nm
BCA MICRO
BRADFORD 595 nm
BRADFORD MICRO
LOWRY 595 nm
LOWRY MICRO
PROTEIN 280 nm Calculating the concentration of proteins with
evaluation via factor.
Measuring wavelength: 280 nm
Secondary wavelengths to check
for purity: 260, 340 nm
OD600 OD600 Turbidity measurement to determine the
bacteria density.
595 nm
dye 550 DYE 550-dsDNA For dye-labeled biomolecules: calculating the
concentration of the molecule (nucleic acid or
protein) and the dye in a single measuring
procedure. The frequency of incorporation of
the dye in the biomolecule is also determined.

assay 340 ASSAY 340/1 Calculating the concentration by measuring at
340 nm. The evaluation procedures can be
freely programmed. As a sample the methods
are already preprogrammed with the following
evaluation procedures:
340/1: evaluation via factor
340/2: evaluation via a standard.
340/3: evaluation via calibration curve with 6
standards.
