SmartPath® Technology Explained by DeNovix

Small volume spectrophotometers such as the DeNovix® DS-11 enable quantitative measurements using volumes as small as 0.5 to 1 μL. To make a measurement, the sample of interest forms a liquid bridge between the upper and lower sampling surfaces. The accuracy of the results is dependent on the accuracy of a calibrated distance between the two measurement surfaces. This application note explains how the DeNovix DS-11 SmartPath® Technology ensures that the measurement distance (pathlength) stays within specification resulting in accurate, reproducible results.
