The 6 Filter carriages cannot be used with a standard instrument.

The 6 Filter carriage has up to six narrow band interference filters that
have a fixed wavelength.
1 2 3 4 5
When a wavelength is selected, the entered wavelength is compared against the
list of defined filter values for this filter carriage.
If the required filter is fitted in the filter carriage, the filter carriage is moved, so
that this specific filter is in the light beam.
For more information about the definition of the new and customized filter
6 Filter carriages can only be used with the
wavelength Absorbance Reader.
Microplates can be measured using the following features:
•
Various measurement modes
•
Single or dual wavelength measurements
•
Microplate shaking
The instrument can be set to use the following measurement modes:
Normal The plate transport is moved quickly under the measurement
diodes so that a fast measurement is obtained. Each well is
measured at three points, 8 times for each point.
Accuracy The plate transport is moved very slowly under the measurement
diodes so that a very accurate measurement is obtained. Each well
is measured at three points, 55 times for each point.
Center This option measures the optical density only in the center of each
well. It is recommended for U-bottom wells or for liquids with high
meniscus. Each well is measured at one point, 22 times.
