Applications of UV and Visible

• Spectrophotometry
• Suitable for colorimetric measurements
• Specular reflection measurements
• Trace organics analysis / monitoring
• An extensive library of colorimetric and organic analysis methods is available including a wide range of applications:-
  • Clinical analysis
  • Colour analysis
  • Trace pollutant analysis

Principle

Many chemical species absorb light in either the visible or ultra violet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. This absorption is caused by the changing electron energy levels in the molecule and is therefore characteristic of the molecular structure. The technique is particularly useful for performing rapid quantitative concentration measurements of organic species in solution.
