Flow Cell Path Length
Lambert-Beer’s law shows a linear relationship between the flow cell path
length and absorbance.
where
T is the transmission, defined as the quotient of the intensity of the transmitted
light I divided by the intensity of the incident light, I

,
e is the extinction coefficient, which is a characteristic of a given substance
under a precisely-defined set of conditions of wavelength, solvent,
temperature and other parameters,
C is the concentration of the absorbing species (usually in g/l or mg/l), and
d is the path length of the cell used for the measurement.
