 Switch on and program the instrument.
 Place the plate firmly onto the carriage.
 Start the test, the plate will be conveyed inside and strip is placed precisely below the optical
path. The measurement is carried out step by step.
 At the end of the cycle the results are printed.
On starting the test, the plate will be conveyed into the instrument.
Plate is moved in step by step by a well-controlled mechanism & each well is
positioned precisely below the optical path. Optical density of each well is measured
as explained below. Based on selected programming mode, sophisticated algorithms
are used for analyzing the measured value & presenting the same on the printer,
display & RS232 serial port for computer Interface.

The following diagram represents the main functional elements of the instrument:
White light produced by the lamps is focused into a beam by the lens & passes
through the sample. Part of the light is absorbed by the sample & the remaining light
is transmitted. It is filtered by interference filters & focused onto the photodiodes. The
photodiode converts the received light in to an electrical signal which is in-turn
transformed into digital form, from which the microprocessor calculates the
absorbance, taking in account of the blank & bichromatic selection.
