OPTIZEN NanoQ Lite is a small microvolume sample analyzer with a simple yet sophisticated design and easy and convenient user interface(UI).
It applies the Slope Algorithm, which is a light path optimization technique, to enable measurement of a wide range of absorbance. Using three LEDs (260 nm, 280 nm, and 600 nm) and a single silicon photodiode, it lowered the product cost drastically while maintaining the needed functions and performance level. It offers the baseline correction function using an additional LED (360 nm).
Slope Algorithm
OPTIZEN NanoQ Lite uses the Slope Algorithm to automatically determine the sample concentration to be "High", "Middle", or "Low" and set the optical path optimized for the measurement.
“Slope Algorithm” applies Beer’s Law to improve the performance of measuring the concentration of the sample using the absorption change according to the change of the optical path and the linearity.
NanoQ Lite uses this algorithm to offer the high measurement performance in a wide concentration range.
