Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy

Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) Spectroscopy is an analytical technique used for measuring the absorption of ultraviolet and visible light by a sample. This technique is used to determine the concentration, structure and composition of a sample by analyzing how it absorbs the light. UV-Vis spectroscopy provides high sensitivity and wide spectral range, allowing the sample to be measured accurately at different wavelengths. It has a variety of applications in fields such as chemistry, biology, environmental science and pharmaceuticals. In chemistry, UV-Vis spectroscopy is used to identify functional groups and confirm the structure of molecules. Additionally, it can be used to study how a sample reacts with UV light, or to measure the absorbance of light over different wavelengths. In biology, UV-Vis spectroscopy can be used to determine the concentration of a protein in a sample, study the binding properties of molecules, and analyze the adhesion of molecules to cell surfaces. In environmental science, UV-Vis spectroscopy is used to analyze water quality and measure ambient ozone levels. In pharmaceuticals, it is used to measure drug concentrations and concentrations of excipients.
