Instrument
UV-Vis-NIR Spectrophotometer

UV-Vis spectroscopy is a widely used technique which probing the electronic transitions of the molecules as they absorb UV and/or visible light. Absorption measurements can be at a single wavelength or over an extended spectral range. UV-Vis spectroscopy is applied mainly in a wide range of molecules or inorganic complexes in solution. The UV-Vis spectra have broad features that are of limited use for sample identification but are very useful for quantitative measurements by using the Beer-Lambert law. It can detect concentrations of molecular species less than 10 -7 M.
