6 PROCEDURE
a) The instrument must be switched on first
to allow the background RLU to be
initialized.
b) A pH can be done on the sample using a
pH strip. The reagent used does contain a
buffer solution and can measure from 4
onwards. As, almost all enzyme catalysed
reactions are pH sensitive it is not advised
to measure a sample below 4.
