Spectrophotometry  spectrophotometer is the quantitative measurement of the reflection or transmission properties of a material as a function of wavelength.  Turned spectrophotometer on and allowed to warm up for at least 10 minutes.  Set the wavelength using the keypad. Open compartment, and place a cuvette containing your blank.  Close the sample compartment door and press the( 0 ABS/100% T) button to blank the spectrometer at your chosen wavelength. The display will read A (or T)

 Now is ready to make an absorbance measurement on the sample.  Fill the cuvette with the sample and Continue to make measurements at this wavelength without re-blanking the instrument  If need to change the wavelength then to re-blank the spectrophotometer at the new wavelength.  To determine the absorbance of unknown make standard curve graph from data recorded then, determine the concentration of Unknowns either by estimation or by linear regression.
