Hello, For absorbency you can use Tartrazine which absorbs in the yellow range (405nm). The concentrations of tartrazine that you need will depend on the...
My experience is that for determining accuracy, gravimetric tests are the best. Pipet a large number of replicates, determine the combined weight of the...
IMO, Evan's blue [cas#: 314-13-6, mfcd:MFCD00004021] is a good dye to use and is measurable at quite low concs. Good for testing low-vol processes and...
