Program Any Assay

The Cecil Assay program software module enables users to mathematically formulate any assay for measurement at up to 10 wavelengths. Rapid text entry of any formula, with up to 76 characters and setting a wavelength program is all that is required for automatic measurement of any sample. A cell program may be incorporated for multiple automatic sample measurements. Up to 20 formulae, each with up to 76 characters, may be combined for the most complex of assays. Never before has programming assays for automatic measurement and computation been so easy.

 
     

Application Example

A typical experiment is illustrated here. The scans of protein, DNA and a sample mixture are shown overlaid over the range 230-330nm. An automatic calculation of the ratios and the DNA purity of the sample was made using the pre-programmed three wavelength ratio method. The results were automatically tabulated as shown.
