RE: using SVEDBERG with interference

Arturo,

Sorry, the current release of my SVEDBERG program does not work well with
interference data because (1) the zero offset varies from scan to scan,
(2)
the baselines are not flat, and (3) there are sometimes jumps of an
integer
number of fringes between scans.

I have solved all these problems and a new version is out for beta
testing.
I hope that version will be released around the time of the Beckman
meeting.
In the meantime I recommend using the DCDT method with interference data.

Hello all!,

I'm using the Svedberg prg to look at some sedimentation data. I've used
it
before to look at absorbance data, but this time I have to look at
interference scans...

My scans move up and down quite a bit (which I'm assuming is normal, this
is my first time using Interference) and I read that the prg will take
that
into account, but when it comes time to display the residuals, fits and
scans, they are all over the place (I cannot superimpose) Is there a
preffered way to do this? I think I can manually edit the scans, but I
dont
know if there is a way to do it in the prg.

Thanks!

Art
