Summary
• A secondary wavelength closer to the primary wavelength reduces noise and
increases accuracy.
• Obtaining the maximum absorbance difference increases sensitivity.
• Avoid secondary wavelengths with peak spectral interferences within the primary
spectral curve.
• Select a secondary wavelength that produces a net absorbance that is close to the net
absorbance of the primary wavelength.
