    Abstract: A method and instrument for determining optical density of a solution is disclosed. A flow cell 1 having at least three light paths (4a, 4b, 4c) is provided (100), wherein each light path has a respective predetermined path length, l. Absorbance readings are taken (400), A, of the solution at the at least three light paths (4a, 4b, 4c). For each pair of light paths, a slope, αc, is calculated (500) by dividing a difference in absorbance reading, ΔA, with a difference in path length, Δl. The calculated slopes, αc, are compared (600), and a) if the calculated slopes, αc, are the same, the slope is used for determining (700) optical density of the solution, or b) if he calculated slopes, αc, are not the same, the steepest slope of the calculated slopes is used for determining (701a) optical density of the solution, or the slope of the calculated slopes being in the range of an absorbance reading of 0.01 to 2 is used for determining (701b) optical density of the solution
