The background interfering absorbance at the analytical wavelength is 
then estimated using linear interpolation (see Figure A2).This method 
represents an improvement over the single-wavelength reference 
technique because it corrects for any background absorbance that 
exhibits a linear relationship to the wavelength. In many cases, if the 
wavelength range is narrow, it will be a reasonable correction for 
non-linear background absorbances such as that resulting from 
scattering of from a complex matrix
