How does UV Vis spectrophotometry work?

A UV Vis spectrophotometer measures the amount of light absorbed by a sample at a specific wavelength. The amount of light absorbed is directly proportional to the concentration of the substance in the sample.

What are the advantages of using UV Vis spectrophotometry?

UV Vis spectrophotometry is a fast, accurate, and non-destructive method of analyzing samples. It can be used for a wide range of substances and is widely accepted as a standard analytical technique in many industries.

How is UV Vis spectrophotometry used in the pharmaceutical industry?

UV Vis spectrophotometry is used in the pharmaceutical industry to analyze the purity, identity, and strength of drugs. It can also be used to monitor the degradation of drugs over time.

What is a blank in UV Vis spectrophotometry?

A blank is a sample that contains all the reagents except the substance being tested. It is used to calibrate the spectrophotometer and to correct for any background absorption or interference.

Can UV Vis spectrophotometry be used to analyze biological samples?

Yes, UV Vis spectrophotometry can be used to analyze biological samples such as proteins, nucleic acids, and enzymes. It can also be used to quantify the amount of a particular compound in a biological sample.

¿Qué escalas de color y números proporcionan los colorímetros de METTLER TOLEDO?

Los espectrofotómetros de METTLER TOLEDO incluyen varias escalas de color preinstaladas como APHA, Gardner, Saybolt, CIELAB, EBC y ASBC, lo que hace que sea una solución ideal para realizar mediciones de color de líquidos transparentes.

El espacio de color APHA (sinónimo de Pt-Co y Hazen), así como la escala de colores Gardner, cuantifica la amarillez de las sustancias casi transparentes y, por lo tanto, sirve para determinar la pureza y la calidad, o el grado de degradación de una sustancia.

CIELAB expresa el color con tres valores: L* para  la luminosidad, a* para verde a rojo y b* para azul a amarillo. Esta escala de colores se emplea para asegurar un color uniforme de los líquidos, por ejemplo, de los tintes, sabores, etc.

La escala de colores Saybolt se usa para clasificar los productos petrolíferos de color claro. El color Saybolt es un indicador de la calidad o el grado de contaminación de productos como la gasolina, el combustible para aviones, etc.
Las escalas de colores EBC y ASBC se usan para determinar el color de la cerveza, lo que distingue los tipos de cerveza.
