Absorbance detection (absorbance spectroscopy) is a technique in which the power of a beam of light measured before and after interaction with a sample are compared. Absorbance detection is also a technique measuring how much light of a particular wavelength is absorbed by a sample. Absorbance detection measurements are complementary to Fluorescence Intensity and Luminescence Detection measurements.
The Monochromator-based Absorbance Detection Cartridge combines scanning and a broad spectrum wavelength range (230 nm - 1000 nm) necessary to address a variety of nucleic acids, proteins, ELISAs and immunoassays found in the laboratory.
