Hi Harrison, thanks for that, it is working now ! I am measuring with the OD LEDA (395nm). With regards to a calibration curve my thought process is to grow the cyano cells to a very high OD (eg 15) and then measure the OD with the Chi bios and the bench top spectrometer at 730nm. I will then dilute multiple times while measuring in the same process, to form a curve. Does that seem like a good way to calibrate the online OD measurements with the bench spectrometer?
