Passwords.log file
This file contains the User ID & password for all accounts and is readable only by the software. It can be found in the c:\nanodrop
data\log files folder. It is strongly recommended that the administrator make a copy of that file and store it in the same log files folder as
above each time a new user account is added or a password is changed. If the administrator's account becomes locked, the up-to-date
copy can be renamed and used as the password,log file.
Note: If upgrading from a previous version, the "passwords.log" and "user preferences.log" files should be automatically copied to the
c:\NanoDrop Data\Log Files directory. If for some reason these files are not copied automatically, they must be manually copied from
the c:\program files\NanoDrop {version} to the c:\program files\NanoDrop V(version) directory.
Dye/Chromophore Editor
The Dye/Chromophore Editor gives the user the ability to add their own dyes or chromophores in addition to the predefined fluorescent
dyes available for use with the MicroArray and Proteins and Labels
modules.
Note 1: Predefined dye methods are indicated by a
diamond and can't be modified. Note 2: Absorbance contribution at 260nm from the respective dye can be corrected by entering the
appropriate decimal correction in the 260nm % field. Refer to the following Molecular probes Base:Dye Ratio Calculator to find the 260
nm % factor for dyes not pre-defined in the Dye/Chromophore List:
http://probes.invitrogen.com/resources/calc/basedyeratio.html
Note: If upgrading from a previous version, zero values (0) for 260 nm % and 280 nm % correction factors will be entered for all user
defined dyes. Please refer to the above link for a list of the correct factors to manually enter.
