The MR9600-663 is the 663 nm wavelength filter for the Accuris MR9600 SmartReader 96 — the standard absorbance wavelength for chlorophyll a quantification (chlorophyll a Qy-band absorbance maximum). Used in chlorophyll quantification workflows for plant biology, photosynthesis research, algal-culture monitoring, and aquaculture / environmental water-quality testing.
For full filter family context, see the MR9600-340 page.
Key Specifications
| SKU | MR9600-663 |
| Type | Single-wavelength interference filter — 663 nm |

Common Application — Chlorophyll a Quantification
The 663 nm wavelength is the chlorophyll a Qy-band absorbance maximum in 80% acetone or methanol extract. Standard chlorophyll quantification workflows include the Lichtenthaler equations (or similar published formulas) that use absorbance at 663 nm and 645 nm (or 666 nm depending on solvent) to calculate chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and total chlorophyll concentrations from leaf or algal cell extracts.
Common workflows:
- Plant biology — leaf chlorophyll quantification for photosynthesis-rate research, stress-response studies, nutrient-deficiency screens
- Algal-culture monitoring — bioreactor algal-density quantification via chlorophyll content
- Environmental water-quality testing — algal bloom monitoring in surface waters
- Aquaculture — feed-quality and biomass quantification in algal-feed cultures
- Pigment biosynthesis pathway research — quantifying chlorophyll vs other pigments in pigment-pathway mutant studies
