Dictionary » D » Dry mass Dry massDefinition noun (1) A reliable measure of the biomass (as opposed to fresh mass). (2) The dry matter of a sample or of an object when completely dried (lacks or excluding water).
Dry mass is a more reliable measure of mass than fresh mass because the former excludes the fluctuating water concentrations in the biological material measured which is present in the latter.

Results from our forumRe: How to measure dry mass? If you need to measure by acre, you need a 1.94 m2 frame. Clip everything inside that frame, dry it, then weight. From the measurement (most in grams) you multiply it by 50. Example: dry weight is 23.3 g. X 50 = 1165 lbs per acre of forage. Your number are probably correct, ...

Re:... simple. Thank you very much. I got a very nice linear relation between dry mass and absorbance in 680nm.it's y = 0.2372x + 0.019 (R² = 0.9928) which Y is dry mass and ...

Re: How to measure dry mass?haha! nice point of view. Your theory should logically work. I'll try but my time is so tight . Thank you anyway for your kind support and efforts :)

How to measure dry mass?... educated guess, that the absorbance would be similarly correlated with dry mass. And I suggested that you verify and calibrate that. But I made the assumption that your ...
