Absorbance measurement in cuvettes lying longitudinal to the light beam

HG Eisenwiener and M Keller

Measurement in cuvettes with their longitudinal dimension parallel to the light beam, while under the influence of a centrifugal force, has many advantages that are not immediately apparent. This survey summarizes the advantages in comparison to cuvettes standing with their long axis perpendicular to the light beam: in the latter the pathlength is fixed by the geometry, but if the cuvette is lying longitudinal to the light beam the pathlength is given by the filling volume. Because of the dependence of the pathlength on the filling (reaction) volume when cuvettes are lying longitudinal to the light beam, the calculation formulas show that the calculation factors, both for enzyme and substrate determination, become independent of the reagent volume form. This is demonstrated by simple equations and confirmed in practice by use of the (Cobas) Bio centrifugal analyzer in assays for glucose and aspartate aminotransferase.
