Non-Invasive Measurement

A collimated beam of light passes through a sample with a defined path length and the absorbance is determined as the ratio of the light applied from the source to what passed through the sample. The PendoTECH Single-Use UV Flow Cell enables the measurement to be made non-invasively.
