It is required apply some factor to the obtained data? The equations to calculate chl a, chl b and carotenoids could be the same as used for the determination of photosynthetic pigments in spectrophotometer?
I think you question is technical. You are asking if it is possible to use the microplate reader to quantify chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids based on the formula given for 1 cm pathlengh cuvettes (for example, Wellburn method, Vol. 144, No. 3, 1994, p. 307-313)??
The answer is YES, and you need to use a constant factor to get the final corrected data equivalent to what you will get in a 1 cm pathlength cuvette. This depends on the amount of liquid used (well length, lightpathlength). In my case, the plate reader and plate I use, I need to multiply the data with 3.5 constant factor when I use 100 ul extracts per well. but this factor will change if I use 200 or 250 ul.
