Introduction to UV-NIR Spectroscopy
UV-NIR spectroscopy is an analytical technique that spans the ultraviolet (UV) and near-infrared (NIR) regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, specifically from 190 nm to 2500 nm. This method is essential for analyzing a wide range of samples, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and biological substances.
Principles of UV-NIR Spectroscopy
The technique relies on the absorption of light, where molecules absorb UV or NIR light, leading to electronic transitions. The Beer-Lambert Law, A = εlc, where A is absorbance, ε is the molar absorptivity, l is the path length, and c is the concentration, is fundamental in quantifying these changes.
Applications of UV-NIR Spectroscopy
UV-NIR spectroscopy is applied in various fields:
Chemical Analysis
It is used for determining concentrations of solutions and the identity of chemical substances. Detection limits can reach as low as 0.1 ng/mL in optimized conditions.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Helps in the identification and quantification of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Assists in quality control and assurance with precision typically within 0.5% of labeled content.
Biological Research
Used in the analysis of proteins and nucleic acids. It aids in the measurement of DNA and RNA concentrations, with sensitivity up to 10 pg/µL.
Environmental Monitoring
Monitors pollutants in water and air. Capabilities include detecting trace amounts of contaminants down to parts per billion (ppb).
