I wanna run a monooxygenase titration assay and measure the content of haem. However, i dont have a microplate reader with 650 nm wavelength (the highest i have is 595nm). Is it alright if i use a regular spectrophotometer? Will there be any concern on the data obtained if i do so?

I guess you can use spectrophotometer for it.

But how many samples you will be doing and time gap you need to think of.

So long as you aren't measuring fluorescence of the haem, then you should be fine.

Ya, the more important part is the time frame. Thank you for the advises!
