Re: how do you guys determine concentrations from spectrophotometry

That was basically the method I was describing earlier, when someone

complained that they could not get reference solutions of DNA.

The other way is to use the Beer-Lambert Law directly, using molar absorptivity
tables for the compound in the sample, and the absolute absorbance of
the sample at a particular wavelength. The latter is the percentage absorbance
using a null sample as 0%.

Hi all,
What method do you folks use to determine concentrations from
spectrophotometry? I use excel to determine the best-fit line from the
set of standards and then I put the absorbance of the unknown sample
into the equation of the line. Any other methods?

Thanks,
JJ
