Blanking and Absorbance Calculations

When the NanoDrop

®

ND-1000 Spectrophotometer is “blanked”, a spectrum is taken of a reference material (blank) and stored in

memory as an array of light intensities by wavelength. When a measurement of a sample is taken, the intensity of light that has
transmitted through the sample is recorded. The sample intensities along with the blank intensities are used to calculate the sample
absorbance according to the following equation:

Absorbance = -log (Intensity

sample

/Intensity

blank

)

Thus, the measured light intensity of both the sample and of the blank are required to calculate the absorbance at a given wavelength.

Concentration Calculation (Beer’s Law)

General

The Beer-Lambert equation is used to correlate the calculated absorbance with concentration:

A =

E

*

b

*

c

Where

A

is the absorbance represented in absorbance units (A),

E

is the wavelength-dependent molar absorptivity coefficient (or

extinction coefficient) with units of liter/mol-cm,

b

is the path length in cm, and

c

is the analyte concentration in moles/liter or molarity

(M).

Fluorescent Dyes (Microarray Measurement)

The NanoDrop software uses the general form of the Beer-Lambert equation to calculate fluorescent dye concentrations in the
Microarray module. The table of extinction coefficients for each dye is below:
