Ever tried a flashlight at night, or after the rain, a colorful rainbow? Sound similar to light, these are great examples of light! But there are many kinds of light that we cannot see with our eyes, did you know that? One of these special types is called ultraviolet (UV) light.
What makes UV light so special is that its wavelength is shorter than the visible colors our eyes capture (red, blue, green). This is why UV light can give us sunburn or even lead to skin cancer if we spend too long in the sun without protection, such as sunscreen or hats. And yet scientists can use UV light to learn about the tiniest of the particles that make up everything around us!
Scientists have special instruments, such as a spectrophotometer, that help you to study UV light. To clarify, this fancy term refers to a machine that takes measurements of just how much light various stuff absorbs. This allows scientists to answer fundamental questions about interactions between light and all kinds of matter.
We developed a proprietary spectrophotometer at Labtech that utilizes cutting-edge technology to provide highly precise measurements of light in the UV spectrum. This amazing tool allows scientists to investigate everything from the chemicals we consume in our foods to the tiny molecules that make up our very being!
What is so special about our spectrophotometer? It employs a small beam of UV light that is tuned to the correct wavelength. This exact setting lets scientists measure just the right segment of the UV light spectrum. This is significant because various materials respond differently under various types of light.
It's a powerful tool because it gives scientists insights into how different molecules interact with light. Scientists, for instance, can use our spectrophotometer to learn about how medicines interact with our bodies. Researchers can use the amount of ultraviolet light that gets absorbed by the protein when they add and remove a drug to get insight about how the drug works at a very tiny level.
Each spectrophotometer we produce, is handcrafted with precision-level materials, calibrated to the most exacting industry standards. This allows scientists to make sure that are measurements are correct, and they can trust that their experiments yield reliable results.
