No Simplifying Assumptions are Needed when Using KinTek Explorer
Shake off Pre Computer-Age Artifacts and Give your Data the Treatment it Deserves!
The field of kinetics evolved out of a time before computers. In the early days, it was out of necessity that kinetic data was treated with transforms such as Double Reciprocal Plots, Lineweaver-Burk plots, and an assortment of other derivations. Now, powerful computers are available that can perform billions of calculations per second.
A fundamental problem with the kinetic field of today is that these methods are still in use, in spite of the fact that they have inherent problems, introducing error through the overemphasis of certain parts of the data and underemphasis of other parts of the data.
The KinTek Explorer bypasses all the inherent problems of these transforms by directly treating your data in the context of your model. There are no simplifying assumptions needed. The errors are treated at face value. Step out of the pre-computer age and give your data the treatment it deserves!
Good Global Fit. The figure shows an example of a good global fit obtained for experiments with widely varying signals intensities. Experiment 1 represents fluorescence data consisting of 5 traces of 203 points each with an average sigma value of 0.04. Experiment 2 represents rapid quench data consisting of 20 points with a sigma value of 60. Taken from example file: Fluor_&_quench_data.mec.
