An instrument leverages the principles of spectrophotometry to determine the concentration of a substance in solution. It calculates concentration based on the amount of light absorbed by the solution, utilizing the relationship described by the Beer-Lambert Law. For example, this instrument can determine the concentration of a dye in a water sample by measuring the light absorbance through the sample.
This calculation method is essential in various scientific and industrial fields. Its utility spans environmental monitoring, chemical analysis, and pharmaceutical quality control. This analytical technique’s development enabled more efficient and precise quantification of materials than previous methods.
