BioPhotometer plus — Operating manual
Method group "dye 550"
The unit for the dye is defined permanently with "pmol/μl" and can therefore not be programmed
in the parameters.
For the various dyes the following dye-specific values have been preprogrammed as absorbance
coefficients and correction factors (for the parameter CORRECTION A
550
):
The values for ALEXA546 were not known at the time of writing this manual; please contact the
manufacturer (Invitrogen) with regard to these values.
Method group "dye 650"
The parameters correspond mainly to those of method group "dye 550". As preselection for the
dye Cy 5 has been programmed. For the dye-specific values the following applies:
