Spectroscopy

Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption or emission of a solid, liquid, or gas. It is based on the principle that molecules absorb specific frequencies that are characteristic of their structure, allowing for the identification of chemical compounds and functional groups. We have access to a number of supplemental accessories such as attenuated total reflectance (ATR) for solids and liquids and diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) for powders.

Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy is an analytical technique that measures the absorption of light by a sample in the ultraviolet and visible regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The absorption of light at specific wavelengths provides information about the electronic structure of molecules, allowing for the identification and quantification of various compounds, including organic molecules, inorganic complexes, and biological macromolecules. We have access to a number of accessories such as Specular Reflectance, an integrating Sphere, and temperature control.

Fluorescence spectroscopy is a sensitive analytical technique that measures the emission of light by a sample after it has absorbed light of a specific wavelength. The emitted light, known as fluorescence, occurs at a longer wavelength than the absorbed light and provides information about the electronic structure and environment of the fluorescing molecules, making it useful for studying various substances, including organic compounds, proteins, and nanomaterials. Our instrument has access to an autosampler and temperature control accessories.
