absorbance is due only to the sample. Absorbance by the mobile phase also
reduces the linear dynamic range of the detector by the amount of absorbance
the autozero function cancels, or “autozeroes,” out. Wavelength, pH, and
concentration of the mobile phase affects its absorbance. Examples of several
mobile phases are given in the table below.
Tip:
The absorbances in the table below are based on a 10-mm pathlength.
