How this calculator works

A = εbc.

Formula

A=εbc

Absorbance from molar absorptivity, optical path length and concentration.

Worked example

Verified example is a verified test case used by the calculation engine.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Inputs are non-negative.
  • Units for ε, path length and concentration must be mutually compatible.
  • The sample follows the Beer-Lambert relationship.

Frequently asked questions

Is absorbance dimensionless?

Absorbance is conventionally reported without a physical unit when compatible inputs are used.

Does this handle instrument deviations?

No. It evaluates the stated ideal relationship.
