References to possible risks given in this manual do not replace the relevant labor-safety regulations that are to be followed.
Personnel
!
The SPEKOL
®
1300 may only be operated by appropriately qualified and trained personnel.
For that, the knowledge of the information provided by this manual is indispensable and taken for granted.
Emergency stop!
In the case of emergency, disconnect the SPEKOL ® 1300 and its components from line power by removing the power plug from the power outlet.
Caution!
This procedure involves the risk of data loss and damage to the operating system!
Electric shocks!
The SPEKOL ® 1300 is electrically powered. At several parts inside the system, extremely hazardous electrical voltages are accessible!
To ensure Protection Class I (protective earth connection) of the device, connect the power plug of the device only to a power outlet with protective earth conductor. The protective effect must not be undone by the use of an extension cable without protective earth conductor.
Before opening the device or removing any device covers, disconnect the power cable!

Safety notes
Before connecting the SPEKOL ® 1300 to the power outlet, make sure the line voltage supplied agrees with the operating voltage specified on the rating plate at the rear panel of the device. Operation of the device with any other operating voltage than that specified may result in the destruction of the device.
Only use fuses of the specified type.
Do not operate the device in explosion-risk rooms!
UV radiation!
Never look directly or indirectly, e.g. via a mirror, into the radiation emitted by the lamp to avoid the risk of getting conjunctivitis!
Therefore, switch off the lamp for lamp replacement!
Lamp damage!
Do not grasp functioning halogen and deuterium lamps on their glass bulbs.
Contamination on the bulb affects the radiation properties of the lamps.
Especially protect the beam-exit window of the deuterium lamp.
Accumulation of heat
Heat accumulation might result in overheating and faults on the device.
Make sure not to cover the ventilation slots of the SPEKOL
Before you switch on the SPEKOL ®
®
1300!
1300, remove its dust cover!
Handling liquids
Take care to ensure that no liquids can enter the SPEKOL
® to the device.
1300 to avoid any damage
Risk of corrosion
Do not set up the device in the vicinity of aggressive vapors, e.g. strongly corrosive acid or caustic vapors! The vapors might corrode the connections, mechanical and optical components of the device.
Avoid exposing the sample compartment to strongly corrosive substances! For the analysis of such samples, use vapor-tight stoppered cells.
After the measurement, do not leave the samples unnecessarily long in the sample compartment of the device!

DNA / Protein Analytics
9.6 DNA / Protein Analytics
This special method is used for bio-analytical determination of DNA / RNA and Proteins.
Therefore the absorbance at 260 nm and 280 nm is measured. The results are calculated with the following equations:
Purity of DNA / RNA = Abs
260nm
/ Abs
280nm
Concentration of DNA [µg/ml] = (Abs
260nm
* 62.9) – (Abs
280nm
* 36)
Concentration of Protein [µg/ml] = (Abs
280nm
* 1552) – (Abs
260nm
* 757.3)
1. Press button until “ DNA / Protein Analysis ” is displayed and press the
[ENT]
button.
2. Factor1 = 62,9, confirm with [ENT] button.
3. Factor2 = 36, confirm with
[ENT]
button.
4. Factor3 = 1552, confirm with [ENT] button.
5. Factor4 = 757.3 , confirm with
[ENT]
button.
6. Insert the blank solution (Std Sample) and confirm with [ENT] button.
7. Insert the sample solution and confirm with
[ENT]
button.
8. Read the results on the digital display.
9. When the printer is connected, you can print out the result with the
[P/C]
button.
10. For performing the DNA/Protein test continuously please proceed as follows: strike
[P/C]
after readout of the first result. Insert another sample or move the arm of the cell changer to the next sample position and strike [Ent] .
11. If factors need to be changed, please strike
[P/C] repeatedly until you get to the settings.
