β¦ Synopsis
Optoacoustic spectroscopy is a potentially powerful tool for the determination of trace and ultratrace components of biochemical interest. We derive here an abbreviated theory of pulsed optoacoustic spectroscopy, describe the experimental apparatus, and report on the performance in the determination of NADH. Results are consistent with theory over the concentration range 1 x 10e5 to 5 X 10-r M. A projected lower limit for detection is 1 x 10e8 M. Possible applications to the study of nucleotide interactions are discussed.

The feasibility of applying optoacoustic spectroscopy for the detection of short-lived species is demonstrated. Several reaction intermediates were observed in a dc discharge. The method was shown to be significantly more sensitive than direct absorption and is complementary to existing techniques f
