A Fast Method of Studying the Impact of Temperature on Chemical Reactions
29 Jan 2019Many life science and chemical applications require a thorough understanding of the dynamics of reaction processes. Variables such as temperature, pH, pressure and the presence of additional chemical components and macromolecules can have a significant effect on reaction rates. Understanding the influence of such parameters is key for a wide variety of applications including enzyme characterization, chemical synthesis, food manufacture and industries that rely on optimized product storage and stability conditions. UV-Vis spectrophotometers are routinely used to help characterize and quantify the kinetics of reactions as they can continuously measure changes in the concentration over time as determined by the change in absorbance over time.

UV-Visible SpectroscopyUltraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometers are used to measure the interaction of UV and visible light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance. The two major instrument classes are single-beam or double-beam spectrophotometers. More specialized equipment includes colorimeters, spectroradiometers and refractometers. Portable and microvolume spectrophotometers are also available. For the modular spectroscopy lab, explore a range of light sources for combination with a spectrograph/spectrometer and optics.
