  • Page 13: Section 3 - Theory And Practice Of Spectroscopy Measurements

    SECTION 3 – Theory and Practice of Spectroscopy Measurements THEORY OF SPECTROSCOPY MEASUREMENT UV-visible spectroscopy is the measurement of the absorbance of light at a specific wavelength in a sample. This is used to identify the presence and concentration of molecular entities within the sample.

    The optical layout of the SP-200-UV spectrophotometer is shown below: Figure 3.2.1 – Diagram of light path The light from the xenon lamp is focused onto the grating, with 1200 lines per millimeter, which separates the light into discreet wavelengths.
  • Page 15: Good Practice Guidelines

    GOOD PRACTICE GUIDELINES 1. For optimum performance all spectrophotometers should be sited in a clean, dry, dust free atmosphere. When in use ambient temperature and light levels should remain as constant as possible. 2. If required adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) should be monitored with regular calibration checks and a suitable Quality Control (QC) programme.
  • Page 16 h) Flow-through cuvettes must be selected with care and consideration for the sample type, sample volume, pumping system, rinse, sample and waste handling to be used. 5. Samples and standards should not be stored in open cuvettes or sample containers as evaporation will change the value and lead to staining of the walls which may be irreversible.
  • Page 17: Section 4 - Photometrics Measurements

    SECTION 4 – PHOTOMETRICS MEASUREMENTS The SP-200-UV can perform simple measurements of % transmittance or absorbance. The sample is measured at one wavelength and at one point in time. TRANSMISSION MEASUREMENT MODE To select % Transmittance use the LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys to move the cursor to the %T indicator on the menu bar (refer to figure 2.3.1).
  • Page 18: Section 5 - Concentration Measurements

    SECTION 5 – CONCENTRATION MEASUREMENTS The concentration measurement mode enables simple measurements of concentration to be performed. In this measurement mode it is possible to calibrate against a standard of a known concentration or use a known factor. The sample is measured at one wavelength at one point in time.
