Technology for Determining the Absorption of Weakly Absorbing & Scattering Liquid Samples
Method and Apparatus for Determining the Absorption of Weakly Absorbing & Scattering Liquid Samples: A Hungarian Research Institute has developed a new type of cuvette for spectrophotometry, with reflecting surfaces. This makes it possible to lengthen the pathway of the light through the sample and in doing so dramatically enhances the sensitivity of the spectrophotometer. The method allows the measurement of the absorption of weakly absorbing and/or scattering liquid samples.
