A colorimetric LDH assay provides a method to measure the enzyme activity of LDH. NADH (MW 633.4 g/mol) absorbs light at 340 nm while NAD+ does not show any absorption at that wavelength. The Beer-Lambert Law relates the absorbance of a solute to its concentration: A = ε*c*L A is absorbance, ε is the molar extinction coefficient, c is concentration, and L is the path length of the solution in the spectrophotometer (usually in cm). In the lab you have...

Use the Beer-Lambert law to explain how a colorimetric assay works in the spectrophotometer. In your answer, define the following terms; chromophore, extinction coefficient, absorbance, transmission and reagent blank. Most of the spectrophotometers in the teaching lab emit light of wavelengths between 400-700nm. However some spectrophotometers also emit light between 200-400nm. Why is this extended range useful? Provide a specific example. How can you use a spectrophotometer to perform a qualitative analysis of a substance?

A technologist is performing a colorimetric assay using 96?well ELISA microtiter plates. The ELISA plate reader measures the absorbance of the solution in each well (cuvet) by recording the light passing through the solution from the top to the bottom of each well. The assay’s color, when tested in a standard spectrophotometer, is linear to an absorbance of 4.0 however the ELISA reader has a range of linearity which only extends to an absorbance of 1.2. When a microtiter plate is placed...

A visible light spectrophotometric determination of penicillin makes use of color-forming reaction of the penicillin. If this compound absorbs at 475 nm with an ε = 1560 M-1cm-1, what would be calculated as the limit of detection with an instrument, using a 1.00 cm cuvette, with its smallest absorbance measurement at 0.005?
