Mixed mobile phases
The following table provides approximate wavelength cutoffs for some other
solvents, buffers, detergents, and mobile phases. The solvent concentrations
represented are those most commonly used. If you want to use a different
concentration, you can determine approximate absorbance using Beer’s Law,
since absorbance is proportional to concentration.
