Thermo Spectronics - Basic UV-VIS Theory, Concepts and Applicaton



Ultraviolet and visible spectrometers have been in general use for the last 35 years and over this period have become the most

important analytical instrument in the modern day laboratory. In many applications other techniques could be employed but none

rival UV-Visible spectrometry for its simplicity, versatility, speed, accuracy and cost-effectiveness.

This descr iption outlines the basic principles for those new to UV-Visible spectrometry. It is intended purely as a brief

introduction to the technique and it is Thermo Spectronic s policy to continually add to this range of documentation for further

details, as they become available.
