8 Multi wavelengths mode
8.1 Measurement principle
This measuring mode allows making different calculations on a sample measured at several wavelengths
(ratio, Allen correction, ...).
It also makes it possible to have the absorbance value of a solution read at several wavelengths (up to 10).
8.2 Calculation examples
Determination of DNA purity index
DNA purity index is given by the ratio of absorbance read at 260 nm on the absorbance read at 280 nm with
elimination of a cloudy part of the solution by a measurement at 320 nm.
Equation 1
Warburg Christian formula for proteins quantification
Equation 2
Allen correction
It allows measuring the pick high inside a first order chemical noise.

8.3 Method programming
The programming of a Special-Multi wavelength method is described by the Warburg Christian equation as an
example.
