bandwidth are well resolved when scanned at
0.5nm bandwidth.

A 1 nm optical bandwith is provided by the CE 7400S

version of the Aquarius, for applications requiring
this particular performance.

Micro-Sipette Sampling
Samples of 300µl or less, and multiple samples, may be
measured with very low cross contamination.

Samples are measured in the same cell enhancing

accuracy and speed of measurement. The pump, in the
sample compartment, is controlled by the instrument's
microprocessor.

Ultra-Micro Sampling
Valuable samples, such as biological samples prepared
with costly reagents, may be measured using a special
ultra-microcell and holder. With the system, samples of
50µl or even less may be accurately measured.

Tablet Dissolution
The CE 7460 and CE 7560 versions of Aquarius are fitted
with a special cell compartment and pipe port for tablet

Advanced Kinetics
An example of advanced kinetics is shown below where time based reaction data generated by the
spectrophotometer has been transferred into Grafit, fitted to a curve and transformed into a more suitable format
for mathematical interpolation and calculation. In this particular example, the basic data plot can yield the limiting
rate (Vmax), the Michaelis constant (Km) and the initial linear portion (Vmax/Km).

This has been transformed into the Eadie-Hofstee format and plotted to give better precision in the calculation of
these important factors and constants.

Other transformations are available such as Lineweaver-Burk and the Hill plot for allosteric enzyme systems.

PC Data Manipulation

Data may be transferred to a PC for use with spread

sheets and other mathematical software packages.

More advanced reaction kinetics data manipulation

may be readily performed with Grafit software. Linear,
non-linear or polynomial curve fitting is easily
accomplished together with non-linear regression
analysis. A wide selection of standard equations are
provided, together with an equation editor for
customised equation fitting.

Data may also be transformed into other mathematical

formats for plotting and calculation.

Band Quantification
Accurate quantitative assays using band area or height,
corrected for background absorption, are exceptionally
easy to carry out with the easy to use Aquarius
instruments.

Analytical results are displayed and printed with

construction lines enabling the quality of the
parameters to be assessed.

The procedure may be stored as a method with security
