title: A simple procedure for determination of the dead time of a stopped-flow instrument.
abstract: The reducing reaction of 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol by L-ascorbic acid was used to determine the dead time of a stopped-flow instrument. Because this reaction is irreversible, the dead time could be determined by a simple graphical analysis. The dead time values determined by the present method were comparable to those by other methods previously reported.
