Because chromophore ionization increases with temperature and decreases by addition of salts and proteins, the molar absorption coefficient at 37[degrees]C was ~8% higher than at 30[degrees]C, so that [[epsilon].sub.405] ([m.sup.2/mol) was calculated to 1200.5 [+ or -] 14 (mean [+ or -] SD; n = 8) for protein-free samples and to 1120 [+ or -] 15 for sera (with 67 g/L protein) under the conditions of the assay.
