In this study, a sensitive technique (Broadband Cavity Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy (BBCEAS)) is employed for measuring the absorption of thin films deposited onto a glass substrate. A thin film of the biological solution such as Lyophilied Bovine haemoglobin is deposited on glass microscope coverslips. Drop coating method was used to deposit a thin film over the microscope coverslips. The number of passes is calculated: 612 passes for the high reflectivity mirror were obtained. The best measurements are made with the mirror set of reflectivity of (R≥ 0.99) which produced an αmin value of 0.0043 cm-1 and LOD of 1.9×10-7M.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
