Laboratory Instruments: Spectrophotometer

Image

A spectrophotometer is a device that calculates how much light is absorbed by a sample. The amount of light absorbed by the solution in a cuvette mounted in the spectrophotometer is used to determine the concentration of solutes in solution. The spectrophotometer method is used to determine the intensity of light as a function of wavelength. It accomplishes this by diffracting a light beam through a spectrum of wavelengths, detecting the intensities with a charge-coupled device, and graphing the effects on the detector and then on the display device.

It accomplishes this by diffracting a light beam through a spectrum of wavelengths, detecting the intensities with a charge-coupled device, and graphing the effects on the detector and then on the display device. Over a certain wavelength range, every chemical compound absorbs, transmits, or reflects light (electromagnetic radiation). The amount of light that a chemical material absorbs or transmits is determined using specttrophotometry. Spectrophotometry is commonly used in a variety of fields for quantitative research. This technique can be used in any application that deals with chemical substances or materials. It is used to evaluate enzyme-catalyzed reactions in biochemistry, for example. It is used to test blood or tissues for clinical diagnosis in clinical applications. Spectrophotometry can also be classified into many groups, such as atomic absorption spectrophotometry and atomic emission spectrophotometry. It is based on the Beer-Lambert law which states that the absorbance and concentration of a sample have a linear relationship. As a consequence, Beer's Law can only be used where a linear relationship exists.
