5-33 Operation - Advanced Use 5 Syringe Correction Function A correction factor may be applied to all volumes of liquid to compensate for the effects of temperature (for example, when the 402 is used in a culture room) or for the effects of viscosity. This factor should be calculated from gravimetric assays and entered in the Configuration menu. Wi[...]
