UV-Vis-IR Spectroscopy
Overview
UV-Visible (UV-Vis) and Infrared (IR) Spectroscopy are two indispensable analytical techniques that play a pivotal role in our suite of services at Outermost Technology.
UV-Visible Spectroscopy capitalizes on the interaction between ultraviolet (UV) and visible (Vis) light and matter to uncover essential properties. By measuring the absorption of specific wavelengths of light, UV-Vis Spectroscopy provides insights into the electronic structure, concentration, and chemical composition of substances. This versatile technique finds applications across diverse fields, enabling precise analysis in areas such as chemistry, biology, environmental science, and materials analysis.
Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), on the other hand, delves into molecular vibrations and structural information. IR Spectroscopy examines the absorption and transmission of infrared light, offering a deeper understanding of molecular bonds, functional groups, and chemical structures. It is an indispensable tool in elucidating complex organic and inorganic compounds, making it a cornerstone of analytical chemistry and materials science.
At Outermost Technology, we leverage the capabilities of UV-Vis and IR Spectroscopy to deliver precise and detailed measurements. Our analytical services empower researchers, industries, and innovators to unlock new dimensions of knowledge and innovation. Whether you seek to explore electronic characteristics, chemical structures, or molecular vibrations, our expertise in UV-Vis and IR Spectroscopy opens new avenues of understanding for your projects.
