Theory and Applications of FTIR and UV-Vis Spectroscopy

Light is utilized in a wide range of spectroscopic techniques and practices to gain a variety of information about materials and chemicals. These analyses can include material/chemical identification, quantitative analysis, quality control/quality assurance testing, and biological studies, among other applications. In these techniques, the wavelength of light used determines the type of transition that can be probed within the materials studied.

Event Overview:

Light is utilized in a wide range of spectroscopic techniques and practices to gain a variety of information about materials and chemicals. These analyses can include material/chemical identification, quantitative analysis, quality control/quality assurance testing, and biological studies, among other applications. In these techniques, the wavelength of light used determines the type of transition that can be probed within the materials studied. Infrared (IR) radiation covers 800 to 100,000 nm and induces transitions between vibrational energy levels within a material. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy occurs at higher energy, from 190 to 900 nm, which promotes electrons to a higher electronic energy state. In this webinar, the theory of IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy will be discussed. Applications, along with sample handling for both spectroscopic techniques, will be outlined.

Key learning Objectives:

• Understand the theory behind FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy
• Learn sample handling techniques in spectroscopy
• Identify various applications in FTIR and UV-Vis spectroscopy
