Wavelength selection

Wavelength selection for chromophore detection
Certain functional groups found in most compounds absorb light selectively.
These groups, known as chromophores, and their behavior can be used to
categorize the detection of sample molecules.
The table below
lists some common chromophores, and their detection
wavelengths (
λ
max
), as well as the molar absorptivity (
ε
max
) of each group. Use
this information as a guide to select the optimal operating wavelength for a
particular analysis. Because of the diversity possible within a given sample,
scanning over a range of wavelengths may be necessary to determine the best
wavelength for a particular analysis.
