Beer-Lambert Law Calculator (Multi-Wavelength)
Beer-Lambert Law Calculator (Multi-Wavelength)
C = A / (ε·l)
Beer‑Lambert Law Calculator (Multi‑Wavelength)
- What this tool is - A simple web‑based spectrophotometry tool using Beer‑Lambert law to compute concentration across multiple wavelengths, ideal for biochem labs, dna/protein quantification etc
- Why use this calculator - It lets user enter absorbance measurements at several λ values, compute molar C in M and μM, draw absorbance‑vs‑concentration graph, export results as CSV, and print results easily with no signup
- Equation used - C = A / (ε·l) where
- A = absorbance measured by UV‑Vis
- ε = molar extinction coefficient in M⁻¹·cm⁻¹
- l = path length in cm
- How to use it -
- Click Add Wavelength B‑btn to insert new input row styled with
.bl-setand.bt-input - Fill each row with: Wavelength (nm), Absorbance (A), Extinction coefficient (ε M⁻¹·cm⁻¹), Path length (l cm)
- Use Fill Sample Data to automatically fill typical BSA, DNA, NADH examples
- Click Add Wavelength B‑btn to insert new input row styled with
- Calculate results - Hit Calculate (
.bt-btn-shiny) then tool produces a.bt-tablesummarizing λ, A, ε, l, concentration in M and μM, plus step‑by‑step C = A/(ε·l) explanations - Graph feature - A canvas chart appears with absorbance vs concentration points per wavelength, labeled and color‑coded
- Export CSV - Click that
.bt-btnto download.csvwith all data for easier recordkeeping or analysis - Print result - Use Print Result button to generate clean printable output of table and formulas
- Important notes -
- ε and l values must be positive numbers else highlighted in red background
.bl-setinvalid row - To remove a row click Remove button within its header in
.bl-set
- ε and l values must be positive numbers else highlighted in red background
- Use‑cases - Useful for students in UV‑Vis spectroscopy courses, researchers quantifying nucleic acids/proteins, educators demonstrating correlation of absorbance and concentration
