Micro volume measurements take place at very small pathlengths, typically ≤ 1 mm. Reducing the pathlength has the same effect as diluting the sample for measurement in a conventional instrument. This allows you to save on the sample amount used for UV Vis spectrophotometry.
Due to the small sample size, micro volume measurements are sensitive to air bubbles or bad sample handling. To ensure a robust workflow, measurements require a consistent, low sample amount for precise and repeatable results.
