Labtech wants to tell you about all of UV and Vis spectroscopy! Spectroscopy is a special technique scientists use to study how light behaves differently. It allows them to detect the special color of light. UV and Vis spectroscopy employ particular types of light to examine the minute shapes of molecules — the microscopic building blocks that form all around us.
Different chemicals absorb UV and Vis light differently when irradiated. When the light shines onto each chemical, they react differently. And this helps the scientists discover more about the structures and properties of various chemicals and much more. Imagine using a flashlight to point at lots of different objects in a dark room. The different shapes and objects reflect the light back to us in different colors. That's a more or less what scientists do with UV and Vis spectroscopy!
Let’s dive deeper into color. And why do some things appear red, some blue, others green, and some even yellow? It all comes down to the way light interacts with the molecules that compose those objects! When light falls on an object, the molecules within absorb certain parts of the light and reflect the remaining ones. It is the unabsorbed parts of the light that we perceive as the “color” of an object. If, for instance, an object appears red, it means that it is absorbing all the colors of light except red, which it reflects back to our eyes.
Scientists are able to learn about different properties and structures of biomolecules by shining UV or Vis light onto samples of them. This is quite essential in order to comprehend how do these biomolecules perform in our body systems. For instance, comprehending how DNA is organized can aid scientists in understanding the inheritance of genes from parents to their offspring. It is also very important to understand this information to find new treatments for diseases, so that we can keep people healthy!
For example, some molecules pull down more strongly in the UV light instead of Vis light. This implies they possess distinct chemical characteristics than molecules that absorb Vis light much more strongly. By closely measuring the extent of light absorption, scientists can determine the concentration of chemicals within the sample. This means they can determine the concentration of a specific chemical which is very important in various scientific disciplines.
And the final point is why is UV and Vis spectroscopy important in medicines? To develop new drugs, companies must demonstrate that these drugs are safe for humans and that they actually produce their intended effects. UV and Vis spectroscopy is a technique that can inform pharmaceutical researchers about the chemical characteristics of new drug compounds, ensuring that drugs remain of high quality and safe for consumers.
Scientists can determine if the right ingredients in the proper quantities are being used by measuring how much UV or Vis light drug molecules absorb. This helps ensure that new medicines are safe as well as effective at treating the conditions for which they are intended. I can never stress this enough: It is very similar to baking a cake; do not have the right ingredients in the right proportions, the cake will not taste good!
