Optical Absorption
- Widely used in chemistry, biochemistry and materials science
- Often necessary precursors to more complex analytical techniques
- Non-destructive, can be carried out on fast time scales and with very low sample concentrations
- Suitable for both laboratory and demanding real-time process monitoring
Facilities Include:
several up to date absorption and fluorescence emission/excitation spectrometers with operating ranges from deep ultra-violet to near infra-red.
Applications Include:
- On-lines process monitoring
- Identification of substances in complex mixtures
- Detection of low levels of contaminants
- Provision of information about molecular conformation and molecular interactions in solution
