Shanghai Lingguang's UV visible spectrophotometer, as a universal analytical instrument, plays an important role in many fields:
1. Quantitative analysis - this is its main function
By measuring the absorbance of the component to be tested at a specific wavelength and comparing it with a standard substance of known concentration, the concentration of the component in the sample can be calculated.
In the field of life sciences:
Protein concentration determination: Using classical Bradford or Lowry methods, measure absorbance at specific wavelengths to calculate protein content.
Nucleic acid (DNA/RNA) concentration and purity detection: Measure the concentration at 260nm and determine the purity by the absorbance ratio of 260nm/280nm (e.g. the ratio of pure DNA is about 1.8).
Bacterial cell density measurement: Measure the absorbance (OD600) of the bacterial solution at around 600nm to monitor microbial growth.
In the field of chemistry and chemical engineering:
Determination of specific ion or compound content in solution: for example, detection of nitrate and phosphate in water, analysis of metal ion content, etc.
In the field of food and environment:
Food safety testing: such as the detection of additives (preservatives, pigments), heavy metals, and pesticide residues in food.
Environmental monitoring: such as the detection of chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, heavy metals and other indicators in water quality.
2. Qualitative analysis
By scanning the absorption spectrum of the sample within a certain wavelength range (such as 190nm-1100nm) and comparing it with a standard spectral library, it can assist in determining the type or structure of the substance.
Material identification: For example, identifying different colored organic compounds because their chromophores are different, and the positions and shapes of their absorption peaks are also different.
Purity check: Pure substances have specific absorption spectra, and if impurities are present, the spectrum may exhibit abnormalities or additional absorption peaks.
3. Other applications
Dynamics research: Monitoring the concentration of reactants or products over time during chemical reactions to study reaction rates and mechanisms.
Determination of acid-base dissociation constant (pKa): The pKa is calculated by measuring the absorbance changes of a substance at different pH values.
