Would you happen to know what the A280 of a 1M (or .1 M) solution is?
I wonder if this absorbance is really due to impurities or is the tail of a weak absorbance band of imidazole itself. I notice A280 is not one of the properties sigma lists for its imidazole.

Hi Bernhard,
this one works for us:

Hi Fellows,
could someone please point me towards the source of a known high purity 
imidazole
with low absorbance at 280 nm? I am facing the problem of detecting a low 
absorption protein
in high imidazole background after IMAC gradient elution. In the UV spectra of 
the
2 imidazoles I checked there is some contaminant that absorbs at 280…
Thx, BR
