I could only find the wavelength for Doxycycline Hyclate (273nm). Does this apply for monohydrate also? Because I'm getting very high values (around 3.2 for just the clear plate) which I think deviates from Beer-Lambert law. Any ideas on this?
The absorbance is the property of the chromophore present in the molecule. The molecular formula for doxycycline hydrochloride hemiethanolate hemihydrate is (C22H24N2O8•HCl)2•C2H6O•H2O and I don't see a significant chromophore in the hyclate part. So you can very well use the 273nm for absorbance measurements.
Thank you. But should I be using any reference wavelength while measuring the absorbance values? How can I resolve the high values for blank clear plate itself?
