Why caffeine is mostly used for calibration of UV detectors in HPLC?
Caffeine gives response at two maximas: one at 203 nm, second at 273 nm & one minima at 245nm.Since Methyl, Ethyl & Propyl Paraben absorbs at two maximas and one minima, It is also used as a standard for calibration of UV detectors.
