Absorbance
Absorbance provides information about the chemical composition of materials in all states of matter. Use absorbance as a qualitative technique to identify substances, or as a quantitative technique to determine the concentration of a molecule in solution.
Use Ocean Optics Spectrometers for Absorbance Applications
Small-volume Samples
(1.0-3.5 mL)
- Blood and biofluids analysis
- Optical filter color characterization
- Protein concentration monitoring
High-volume Samples
(>10 mL)
- Bioreactor chemical analysis
- Chemical and industrial sample process monitoring
- Pharmaceuticals identification for cleaning processes
Absorbance Measurement Setup
Here’s an example absorbance system that uses a cuvette for sampling. Multiple absorbance and concentration measurement configurations are possible with Ocean Optics spectrometers and accessories.
