How do I calculate concentration from absorbance?
Posted December 2, 2020

Answer

Use the Beer-Lambert Law to calculate the concentration of a solution from the absorbance measurements. 

Rearrange the formula by solving for c: 

Where:

= the molar absorptivity
ε = the molar extinction coefficient
= fixed path length
= the concentration
