Laboratory Experiments
An Inexpensive Detector for Absorbance Measurements in Flow-Injection Analysis

Abstract
A photometric transducer for peak detection in flow-injection analysis is described. It relies on a light-emitting diode as the light source and a photodiode as the detector. A logarithmic amplifier is used in order to emulate Beer-Lambert's Law and to directly obtain absorbance readings. The performance has been tested with two commonly employed flow-injection procedures, but the device should be suitable for most methods that may be used in the teaching lab.
