Spectrophotometers
Spectrophotometry is an analytical technique that allows determining the concentration of a compound in solution. It is based on the principle that molecules absorb electromagnetic radiation and in turn that the amount of light absorbed depends linearly on the concentration. A spectrophotometer is used to measure the amount of light absorbed by a solution.
That is, spectrophotometry refers to the measurement of relative amounts of light absorbed by a sample, as a function of wavelength. It is characterized by its accuracy, sensitivity and its applicability to molecules of different nature (pollutants, biomolecules, among others) and aggregation state (solid, liquid, gas).
Types of Spectrophotometers a Laboratory May Need
Unique beam
This is one of the components of the spectrophotometer, responsible for illuminating the chemical or biological sample to be analyzed. There are two types:
- Single Beam: is an analytical tool in which all light waves emanating from the light source pass through the sample. Therefore, the measurements are taken in how the light intensity, passes through the sample. These single-beam spectrophotometers are more compact and optically simpler than double-beam spectrophotometers.
Double beam
The basics of the spectrophotometer, allows to measure the radiation absorbed by a solution, in which determines the concentration of solute or the rate of transformation in a chemical reaction.
Basically, its light functions are necessary in the use of special lamps, among the most common types are:
- The Deuterium and Tungsten Long Life Lamps, capable of providing the best wavelength protection, through the working range of a high performance spectrometer. They are used for wavelengths of visible spectrum and near ultraviolet. These lamps produce a radiant spectrum between 360-950 nm. Deuterium Lamps generate a continuous spectrum in the ultraviolet region between 220-360 nm.

Spectrophotometer operating
The operation of this equipment is based on the light of the special lamp that it has that is guided by means of a connector that selects and separates the light from the wavelength, and then passes through a sample. of that sample is captured and compared with the intensity of the light that fell on that sample. With this information, the transmittance can be calculated, which will depend on the concentration of the substance.
Basically its operation is to illuminate a sample with white light, and then calculate how much is the amount of light that is reflected through a series of wavelength intervals.
