How To Use absorbance In A Sentence
- For example, some spectrophotometers can measure absorbance in sample volumes as low as one microliter. The Scientist
- A: Titration of histones into LDL (final concentration 1.25 mg/ml by protein) was carried out for 1 hr in PBS at 21°C, and protein aggregation measured by spectrophotometric absorbance at 680 nm. PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
- The assay utilizes a novel tetrazolium compound that metabolically active cells convert to a water-soluble formazan by the action of cellular dehydrogenases, which is measured by absorbance at 490 nm using a colorimetric microtiter plate reader PLoS ONE Alerts: New Articles
- Then, absorbances at the four wavelengths were calculated.
- The 10 ml samples were centrifuged and the absorbance of the supernatant was measured at 280 nm to determine the lignin content.
- Remarkably, the new technique, which the researchers call absorbance modulation, makes it possible to create lines that are only about one-tenth as wide as the wavelength of light used to create them. Nano Tech Wire
- The absorbance band is narrowest for 3-methyl indole in pentane.
- The Alert colorimeter uses the differential absorbance colorimetry (DAC) methodology to prevent background sample colour and solids adversely affecting the analysis. Manufacturingtalk - manufacturing industry news
- From the combination of the relative absorbances and relative fluorescence quantum efficiencies of the two substances, a relative quantum yield could be extrapolated.
- In these experiments electron absorbances were measured as a function of increasing laser intensity and, subsequently, as a function of decreasing laser intensity.
