What is the purpose of cell matching? (1 mark)
I've been researching for quite a long time now. This question relates to using spectrometry. Can anyone help me? Thanks!
I let this question go yesterday because I connected it with cells is biology. On rereading today I see it actually is chemistry. Cells are matched in spectrophotometry so that the absorption of light by the walls of the cell (or the reflection of light by th walls) will be th same. That is, you want any difference in absorbance of one sample to the next to be due to the sample and not its container (the cell).
