UV-Vis Spectroscopy

Our lab currently has 2 UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The Principle of UV-Visible Spectroscopy is based on the absorption of ultraviolet light or visible light by chemical compounds, which results in the production of distinct spectra. Spectroscopy is based on the interaction between light and matter. 

Cary 60 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer 

The Cary 60 UV-Vis spectrophotometer has a wavelength range of 190–1100 nm that can be scanned in under three seconds. Our versatile UV-Vis spectrophotometer can be fitted with long pathlength cuvettes and solid sample transmission or reflectance accessories. 

We have a variety of different types of cuvettes to cope with different experimental objects, such as solutions or gels of different concentrations. 

If you are part of the Adams or Draper group, please get in touch with Dr. Alex Loch (alex.loch@glasgow.ac.uk) or Rui Huang (2699425h@student.gla.ac.uk). We will train you and can help you get started with your experiments.
