Measurement Techniques – Typical Set-ups
The Flame, in conjunction with Ocean Optics light sources and sampling accessories, can be
used for many different measurement techniques. One of the key advantages of modular fiber
optic spectroscopy is that you can change components of the system without having to buy a
whole new system. Here, we show a range of typical UV-Vis set ups for basic spectroscopy
techniques. You’ll find lots more information about measurement techniques at
www.oceanoptics.com/measurementtechnique .
Absorbance
Absorbance is typically a relative measurement, comparing the spectrum from
the sample to that of a reference. Absorbance is commonly used for
concentration measurements and for identifying components in mixtures. The
absorbance measurement scales the response logarithmically. Connect the Flame
to our cuvette accessories via the SMA Adaptor accessory to take a liquid sample
Absorbance measurement, or mount it directly against the sample with a light
source on the opposite side for solid sampling.
