 The scientific method of colorimetry uses the Beer-Lambert law, which indicates that a solute's concentration is proportional to absorbance, to determine the concentration of colored compounds in solutions. Nitrate measurement with a coloring reagent is one use for colorimetry. The procedure for setting the EVAL-CN0503-ARDZ for nitrate measurement is described in this document. The scientific method of colorimetry uses the Beer-Lambert law, which indicates that a solute's concentration is proportional to absorbance, to determine the concentration of colored compounds in solutions.

-The four-channel optical platform EVAL-CN0503-ARDZ can monitor fluorescence, absorbance, and scattering. The only measurements that can be made using the two middle channels/light streams are of absorbance and 180-degree scattering. In this demonstration, there is only one path used to evaluate absorbance for a single light wavelength.+The four-channel optical platform EVAL-CN0503-ARDZ can monitor fluorescence, absorbance, and scattering.

 A chemical reagent or indicator is required for measuring nitrate using colorimetry. Different indicators display varying color and light absorption patterns. The solution exhibits highly different color hues at the ends of the nitrate range because some indicators break down into various ions that have different characteristics. The Nitrate (NO3-) Test Kit, which includes two solutions, will be used for this demonstration. The mixture will turn yellow when Solution 1 is added, while Solution 2 includes test chemicals that produce all various color shades. Visual estimation or spectrophotometric measurement in the range of 4-40 mg/L at λmax 400 nm can be used to determine the nitrate concentration. As a result, the third path of the CN0503 will be illuminated by a light source with a wavelength of 530 nm in this demonstration. A chemical reagent or indicator is required for measuring nitrate using colorimetry.

-The baseline ratio is used to remove small factors introduced to the measurement such as by the optical glass elements, e.g., beam splitter, lens, and filters. The baseline ratio is the ARAT value of a known setups such as with an empty cuvette or distilled water sample where it is known that the ratio of incident and transmitted light should be approximately 1. This value is used as a reference for successive measurements which will be defined as the relative ratio RRAT. +The baseline ratio is used to remove small factors introduced to the measurement by the optical glass elements, such as beam splitter, lens, and filters.
