The detector's cuvette option is used to measure the absorbance spectrum of a sample in a cuvette.
Note: This section pertains only to use of the optional cuvette.
To generate and store a spectrum:
- Acquire a Blank scan, which measures the absorbance of the contents of the cuvette over the desired wavelength range.
- Acquire a sample (Absorbance) scan, which measures the absorbance of the analyte dissolved in solution.
Result: The detector subtracts the Blank scan from the sample scan to create a sample spectrum.
