Convert in micromoles, the (change in absorbance/minute) using Beer's Law and extinction coefficient for dopachrome (3600 M-1 cm-1).
Accordinf to Beer's law: A = cl
A = absorbance, = extinction coefficient = 3600M-1cm-1, c= concentration and l= length of the cuvette= 1cm (usually)
Calculating concentration, c = A/l = (A/3600) M
Put the value of Absorbance and find the concentration, c.
Usually the concnetration c will be in mM, for this case say x mM. Now, the concentration is x mM i.e. x mol in 1ml of the solution.
The concnetration you get in mM will be equivalent to the change in absorbance in micromoles.
