Correction On or off
Enter baseline correction
wavelength in nm or use
default value (340 nm)
N/A Corrects for any offset caused by light scattering
particulates by subtracting measured absorbance at
specified baseline correction wavelength from
absorbance values at all wavelengths in sample spectrum.
As a result, absorbance of sample spectrum is zero at
specified baseline correction wavelength.
Tip : If the sample has a modification that absorbs light
at 340 nm, select a different correction wavelength or
turn off Baseline Correction.
