Abstract: A method for determining an optical pathlength through a cuvette of a spectrophotometric apparatus includes obtaining a first single beam spectrum of a liquid zero-material at least in a first energy region in which the liquid zero-material absorbs at least a portion of incident optical radiation; obtaining a second single beam spectrum of a second liquid at least in the first energy region, the second liquid having a composition excluding the liquid zero-material and having no absorption of incident optical radiation in the first energy region; determining a dual beam spectrum of the liquid zero-material relative to the second liquid at least in the first energy region from the first and second single beam spectra; and calculating an optical pathlength through the cuvette based on processing spectral information obtained from the first energy region of the determined dual beam spectrum.

Abstract: A method of correcting for an amplitude change in a spectrometric instrument output includes: exposing a sample in a sample holder to electromagnetic radiation at a plurality of wavenumbers; detecting electromagnetic absorption intensities in the sample at the plurality of wavenumbers; providing to a computer device the detected electromagnetic absorption intensities indexed against wavenumber as spectral data; applying in the computer device a mathematical transform (Icorr) to the spectral data to correct for an amplitude change in the spectrometric instrument's output and calculated by determining a difference (Δ(SBZ)/) between first derivatives of a logarithmic transformation of spectral data (SBZ) from the zero material sample at two different wavenumber ranges (log10(SBZ(x1))/ and log10(SBZ(x2))/); and calculating the mathematical transform (Icorr) as a function inversely dependent on the determined difference (Δ(SBZ)/).
