9.B. Touch Screen Controls
Home Screen: From the Home Screen you can access Help, Tools, Calibration, Mode or Measure Fluorescence.
Touch the Help button to access a variety of help topics.
Mode: There are two measurement modes for the Fluorescent Module. The Raw Fluorescent mode provides a simple
method to measure the fluorescence of a sample without calibration. The Direct Fluorescent mode requires a calibration
with one standard and one blank. The Direct Fluorescent mode reports readings in one of several units (i.e., µg/ml,
ng/ml, pg/ml, ppb, ppt or FSU). With a valid calibration, it is not necessary to generate a standard curve to determine
the actual concentration of the sample.
Calibration: Touch Calibration to calibrate the Fluorescent Module with a known standard. Select the units of
measurement that correspond to the units of your standard. For example, if your standard is 200ng DNA/ml, select the
ng/ml option. Next, enter the final concentration of your standard. We recommend selecting a standard with a
concentration similar to a typical sample concentration. Subsequent sample readings reflect the actual concentration.
Measurement: Analysis with the Fluorescent Module requires the minicell cuvette. The maximum volume of the
minicell is 250µl. The minimum volume is 100µl. Insert the minicell cuvette into the Fluorescent Module. Close the lid
and touch the green Measure Fluorescence button on the touch screen. After a 5-second measurement time, the
result will appear on the touch screen next to the Sample ID.
9.C. Removing the Fluorescent Module
