Sample Preparation:

1) Prepare your sample in a volumetric flask, don't fill it into a cuvette.
Check on the UV/vis spectrometer, wheter you are in the right concentration range.
- Strong chromophores: c ≈ 10
- Weak chromophores: c ≈ 10
- GENERAL RULE: your absorbance band of interest should be at 0.1-0.8 E, ideally at around
0.2-0.4 E.
2) Fill your cuvette with pure solvent.
Start your measurement: (after the machine warmed up for 1-2 hours)
- Choose "Setup", then setup some parameters which you find in the submenus.
- Insert your cuvette with pure solvent into the machine and record a Baseline. Save it.
