Alternative Solution Preparation - Artel MVS Quick Start Manuals

Alternative Solution Preparation

Prepare alternative solutions to mimic the liquid properties of commonly dispensed
liquids. Alternatively, other non-aqueous solutions are available as part of the
MVS Solution product line.
Use the Alternative Solution Helper to Determine Preparation Protocol:
• Launch the Alternative Solution Helper software from the desktop icon or through
the installation folder.
• Select New Solution File from the File menu and choose one of the four Plate Types.
• Enter the Target Volume to test.
• Refer to the Alternative Solution Table below for the approximate Target Volume
limits for each Plate Type.
• Enter the Lot Volume. Artel recommends a Lot Volume of at least 30 mL.
• Enter the Solvent Density. This value will also need to be entered into the Data
Manager software.
• Click DONE and a report will be generated detailing the target weights of both
the appropriate MVS Stock Solution and the solvent in order to achieve the Target
Volume entered above (see screen image at right).
• The report will include usable volume ranges for the solution in each Plate Type.
Follow the Dilution Instructions and record the actual weights that will be entered
into Data Manager.
